Flow Around Circular Cylinders

This is an extremely comprehensive survey of research work performed on the phenomenon of flow around circular cylinders. This is the simplest geometry to study, but nevertheless provides very considerable challenges to the experimentalist as well as the mathematical and computer modellers. It is also a geometry very commonly employed in commercial heat exchangers (radiators and condensers). The book is a unique compilation of experimental data, theoretical models, and computer simulations of flow past circular cylinders. The circular cylinder is the most widely used shape in engineering making appearances in aeronautical, chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, nuclear, off-shore, and wind engineering. The book will be useful to postgraduates and practising engineers in those fields of study and application.
