Low Reynolds Number Flow Around Tori of Different Slenderness Γ

We present the results of axisymmetric and three-dimensional numerical simulations of the flow around a torus in the low Reynolds number regime [ 10 − 2 ; 3 × 10 3 ] and aspect-ratio 0 < Γ = 2 a / R ≤ 2 (core diameter over toroidal radius). It is shown that as...
