| Abstract: | The flow past axisymmetric bodies of various shapes in expanding cavities and cylindrical channels is studied on the basis of a numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. For each body shape velocity, pressure and shear stress distributions are obtained. These data are then used for the purposes of a comparative flow analysis in terms of body shape and Reynolds number. The properties characteristic of flows around bodies in channels and cavities with moving boundaries are determined.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp. 60–66, May–June, 1988. |
