Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer Around Semi-Circular Cylinder: A Review (original) (raw)

Fluid Flow around bluff bodies such as circular, elliptical, square, semi-circular and triangular cylinders was being studies well from several years and there are extensive literatures available on the fluid flow around a circular cylinder because of its practical importance in hydrodynamics and aerodynamics applications and the fundamental significance in the flow physics. On the other hand, semi-circular cylinders are now being studies because of its fluid dynamic features that offers strong engineering applications and tremendous fundamental importance. Fluid flow around a semi-circular cylinder have some practical applications in electronic cooling, heat exchange systems, processing of foodstuffs, etc. The literature available on flow over semi-circular cylinder deals mainly the following parameters i.e. boundary layer separation, forces such as drag and lift and characteristics of the wake region, the nature of the vortex street, the flow separation phenomenon, Nusselt number ...
