FLUENT 12.1 - Steady Flow Past a Cylinder - Problem Specification

Problem Specification

Consider the steady state case of a fluid flowing past a cylinder, as illustrated above. Obtain the velocity and pressure distributions when the Reynolds number is chosen to be 20. In order to simplify the computation, the diameter of the pipe is set to 1 m, the x velocity component of the velocity is set tp 1 m/s and the density of the fluid is set to 1 kg/m^3. Thus, the dynamic viscosity must be set to 0.05 kg/m*s in order to obtain the desired Reynolds number.
