TRANSPORT PHENOMENA OF VISCOELASTIC FLUID IN CROSS FLOW AROUND A CIRCULAR CYLINDER

抄録

The dynamic equation with the generalized Maxwell model is solved numerically in moderate Reynolds number range. The results of calculation reveal the effect of elasticity in cross flow around a circular cylinder. The electrochemical method is used for the measurement of Sherwood number in cross flow of dilute polymer solutions. Comparison of calculated values with the experimental results shows good agreement.
