Abstract: | A numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations is presented for Poiseuille flow around an axially placed, fixed sphere in a circular cylinder. Streamlines and isovorticity lines are calculated from the governing equations for the strearnfunction and the vorticity. Isobars are calculated from a Poisson equation, derived from the Navier-Stokes equations. The pressure and vorticity distribution on the surface of the sphere, the additional pressure drop and the drag coefficients are presented. Solutions are obtained for Reynolds numbers up to 150 (based on cylinder diameter and mean velocity). The wall effects are examined by comparison with results of previous investigations for an unbounded flow around a sphere. |
