Pressure Coefficient

...

Let's plot pressure coefficient vs x-direction along the cylinder. 

 
Pressure Coefficient is a dimensionless parameter defined by the equation Image Added
where p is the static pressure, p ref is the reference pressure, and q ref
is the reference dynamic pressure defined by 1/2 * p ref v ref 2

Now, let's take a look at the Contour of Pressure Coefficient variation around the cylinder.

...

Because the cylinder is symmetry in shape, we see that the pressure coefficient profile is symmetry between the top and bottom of cylinder.

Plot Stream Function

Now, let's take a look at the Stream Function.
