i am solving a laminar flow across a cylinder.i am interested in getting a good vortex shedding in unsteady flow. i want to know how this time step size,no. of time steps and no. of iterations per time step affect this phenomenon....
thanks a lot friends |

you should consider physical time scale
if incompressible flow, you should consider a turbulent time scale which is probably smallest time scale. if compressible flow, you should consider a speed of sound for non-reacting flow due to smallest time scale if reacting flow, you should consider chemical time scale, maybe 10^-6 or more you should need no. 100 samples for 1-period. good luck |

To get a good vortex shedding you need to make sure that your mesh is fine enough and also your time step is small enough. To do this, you need to do some mesh dependence studies and also time step convergence study. I always keep the CFL number less than 1 to make sure your time step is small enough. If you keep your time step size small enough, you need not to worry about no. of time steps and no. of iterations per time step.
