Flow around a cylinder
ANSYS
In ANSYS Fluent, I conducted several simuations.
- steady flow (at low Reynolds # (Re=20), equivalant to laminar flow)
unsteady flow (at high Reynolds #)
- Different Mesh
- Not patched (IDK what it fully means)

Remaining Questions
What is patching?
According to instructions, I had to 'patch' the flow so that it can reach vortex shedding fast. IDK what it means, and I didn't have time to conduct simulation again without 'patch' and compare with the one with it.
