Abstract
In this paper we study the numerical three dimensional simulation of laminar incompressible viscous flow over a flat plate with circular and noncircular hole. The hole is located at the center of the plate. The aim of this paper is to visualize the steady and unsteady vortex dynamics using immersed boundary method. This method takes three variables, viz. velocity, vortices and the pressure to solve the flow field over a specimen. The plate considered is of 0.01 m length and the air is used as the flow medium and hole is made of same area. The analysis are done both circular hole plate and non-circular hole to examine the difference in the force and wake at the trailing part of the flat plate. In this study we measure the magnitude of vortices behind a flat plate and we also study the physical backdrop of how vortex strength is depend on the inner profile of the body. From the results it is evident that the reverse flow is stronger in non circular profile however the strength of vortex is higher in circular holed plate. It's also found that velocity is inversely proportional to strength of vortices in flat plate with noncircular hole.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
