ANSYS CFD Tutorial Part 2: Fluid Flow over 2 Circular Cylinders - von Karman Effect

Welcome to The Engineering Guide! This is part 2 to the fluid flow around circular cylinders in order to study the von Karman effect. See part one linked below. In today's tutorial, we will see how to set up the CFD simulation for the fluid flow around 2 cylinders in tandem that are separated by 4D. In this video, I also note the modifications you can make to this simulation if you have a different distance seperating your cylinders or if you have 3 cylinders instead of 2 cylinders. By completing this simulation, we are able to see how the number of cylinder and the spacing between cylinder will affect the von Karman effect.
