Numerical simulation of low-Reynolds number flows past two tandem cylinders of different diameters

The flow past two tandem circular cylinders of different diameters was simulated using the finite volume method. The diameter of the downstream main cylinder (D) was kept constant, and the diameter of the upstream control cylinder (d) varied from 0.1D to D. The studied Reynolds numbers based on the...
