| dc.description.abstract | The 2-dimensional, viscous and incompressible flow past a circular cylinder is investigated by solving the Navier-stokes equation. solved using CFD (Computational Fluid These equations are numerically Dynamics) methods on an overlapping multiblock grid system. In this thesis, several flow configurations, such as stationary and oscillating cylinder, were studied in order to predict and to understand the hydrodynamic forces. The results from the different simulations were compared with available experimental and numerical data, which confirmed the correctness and accuracy of the present method. The numerical computations successfully captured many important flow features for the various types of flow conditions. The present program code proves to be a powerful tool, by enabling the study of numerous interesting and useful research topics related to fluid-structure interactions, thereby, it will contribute to a better design of offshore structures. | en |
