========================================== Air Flow over Cylindar (Under Development) ========================================== .. py:currentmodule:: solvcon.parcel.bulk In this chapter we perform the numerical simulations for acoustic field generated by air flowing over a cylinder. This problem is chosen to verify the accuracy of the developed solver. The acoustic fields are calculated for different Reynolds numbers .. math:: :label: reynolds \newcommand{\defeq}{\buildrel{\text{def}}\over{=}} \mathrm{Re} \defeq \frac{\rho vD}{\mu} The density of air is :math:`\rho = 1.2250 \,\mathrm{kg}/\mathrm{m}^3`. The dynamic viscosity is :math:`\mu = 1.983\times10^{-5} \,\mathrm{kg}/\mathrm{(m\cdot s)}`. Choose the diameter of the cylinder to be :math:`D = 0.1 \,\mathrm{m}`. Then, at the three given Reynolds numbers, the velocity can be calcuated from :eq:`reynolds`: .. math:: v = \frac{\mu\mathrm{Re}}{\rho D} =============== ========= ======== ======== Reynolds number 89,000 46,000 22,000 =============== ========= ======== ======== Velocity (m/s) 14.407102 7.446367 3.561306 =============== ========= ======== ======== .. note:: In ``examples/bulk/air`` run the following commands to obtain the above numbers:: ./go velocity --density 1.225 --diameter 0.1 --dvisco 1.983e-5 --reynolds 89000 ./go velocity --density 1.225 --diameter 0.1 --dvisco 1.983e-5 --reynolds 46000 ./go velocity --density 1.225 --diameter 0.1 --dvisco 1.983e-5 --reynolds 22000 The bulk modulus of air is :math:`K = 1.42 \times 10^5 \, \mathrm{Pa}`.
