| Abstract | Vortex shedding behind a cylinder can be controlled by placing another small cylinderbehind it, at low Reynolds numbers. This has been demonstrated experimentally byStrykowski & Sreenivasan (J. Fluid Mech. vol. 218, 1990, p. 74). These authorsalso provided preliminary numerical results, modelling the control cylinder by theinnovative application of boundary conditions on some selective nodes. There areno other computational and theoretical studies that have explored the physicalmechanism. In the present work, using an over-set grid method, we report and verifynumerically the experimental results for flow past a pair of cylinders. Apart fromproviding an accurate solution of the Navier–Stokes equation, we also employ anenergy-based receptivity analysis method to discuss some aspects of the physicalmechanism behind vortex shedding and its control. These results are compared withthe flow picture developed using a dynamical system approach based on the properorthogonal decomposition (POD) technique. |
