ABSTRACT Numerical solution of two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation by Finite Element (FE) aJ)dFinite Difference (FD) method have been obtained and compared with experimental results at Re = 1,000 for flow past an impulsively translatedand rotated circular cylinder. The agreement with experimental results is very good. Furthermore the computationsperformed at Re = 3,800 are reported for the first time giving detailed load history. 1. Introduction The study of flow past circular cylinder that is rotated and held in a uniform stream has received attention for more than a century starting with the orginal experimentsof Magnus [1] examining lift generationby imposedcirculation. The rotational to translationalspeedratio (a) and Reynolds numberbasedon free streamspeedand diameterare the parametersof the problem. Later on this flow has been studied to: i) understandunsteadyboundary layer separation,ii) modify the shed vorticesin the wake and iii) control the aerodynamicperformanceby the useof unsteadyrotation. In [1] it is pointed out that at high rotation rate (a > 2) there is the possibility of generatingthe correspondingirrotational velocity distribution as a steady flow of real fluid at large Reynolds number. In this context Tokumaru & Dimotakis [2] in analy~ing their experimental results observedthat the theoretical maximum limit for lift coefficient can be exceededfor high rotation rates. Theyhaveprovidedresultsfor 0.5 < a <10 at Re = 3,800. Here we provide some results for this Reynolds number and additional results at Re = 1,000 for which both experimentaland computationalresultsexist. 2. Fonnulation & Numerical Methods The two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation representing incompressibleflow is solved in primitive variablesby FE method [3] and in the stream function and vorticity fonnulation by FD method [4,5]. The FE method [3] is basedon SUPG (Strearnline-upwind/Petrov-Galerkin) and PSPG (Pressure-Stabilising / Petrov-Galerkin) stabilizing technique using equal-orderinterpolation velocity-pressure element. The nonlinear equation systems resulting from the discretizationare solved using Generalised Minimal RESidual (GMRES) techniquewith diagonal preconditioners. The FD method [4,5] is based on the iterative solution of stream function equation by Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) & Modified Strongly Implicit Proceedure
