models with same numerical procedure

  • Spalart-Allmaras model
  • error in separation point

flow remains attached too long

small recirculation zone

low back pressure

large drag

  • Accurate Strouhal number

velocity profiles along the wake

  • LES and VLES
  • reveal secondary eddies
  • LES resolves dynamics in boundary layer
  • Oscillating Cylinder
  • No other numerical results in same regime
  • Lock-in over large range of motion frequencies
  • Further investigation required
