Problem Set

1. Compute the drag and lift coefficients for Re=300 and 1000 and plot them as functions of the dimensionless time. Compute the average values after the periodic oscillation is achieved. Compare them with the results provided in Table 1 (as presented in step 6.

2. Compute the frequency of the oscillation and estimate the Strouhal number for Re=300 and 1000, St = fd/U. You may use Matlab or other tools to do the data analysis.

3. Show the typical instantaneous streamline, vorticity, and pressure contours for Re=300 and 1000.

4. Upload your animation onto OAK (less than 10 Mb).
