Problem Specification

The purpose of this tutorial is to illustrate the setup and solution of an unsteady flow past a circular cylinder and to study the vortex shedding phenomenon. Flow past a circular cylinder is one of the classical problems of fluid mechanics. For this problem, we will be looking at Reynolds number of 150.

We'll create the geometry and mesh in GAMBIT which is the preprocessor for FLUENT, and then read the mesh into FLUENT and solve for the flow solution.
