Turbulence Features in a Wall-Wake Flow Downstream of Two Horizontal Cylinders – A Numerical Approach

This study presents experimental and numerical studies of flow past two horizontal cylinders. The study was performed using the experimental data that was recorded over a rough bed with bluff bodies. First, general features have been specified at various downstream distances from cylinders, including streamwise velocity, Reynolds shear stress, and turbulence intensity profiles. Eventually one numerical model has been implemented to replicate the experimental scenario and to perform simulation. Information regarding general turbulence properties along with dissipation rate have been extracted from simulation software and compared with that of experimental data measured at different locations, which are found to be fairly consistent.
