Von Karman Street of flow behind cylinder

This is a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) calculation of the flow behind a cylinder. The Reynolds no. is 100,000 based on the diameter of the cylinder. Created using CFX 10. The unstable pattern is known as the von Karman street.

AMAZING VID!!! Is it yours or u took it somewhere else? Could u tell me where? I´ll tell you u can find more nice vids of fluid dynamic at ONERA. FR (French page, nice vids and simulations)

Hi PrandtlGlawert.

I made it myself based on a old cfd calculation where I used CFX. Onera? Is it not where prof. Simonin wokrs? I'll have a look at the website.

I do not like that pink in contours. nice vid

Result is similar to comsol's.

Looks like plasma pong! :D

Don´t know if that person is working there, don´t know him. But i can tell you my teacher of aerodynamics told us we could find great videos of simulations (looks like ONERA is a research and investigation center). I saw a few vids there, they´re amazing. Thanks for the vid, keep up the good work!!!
