EFFECT OF PRANDTL NUMBER ON HEAT TRANSFER IN FLOW PAST A HEATED CYLINDER

Aswathy Nair. K, Ajith Kumar. S, A. Sameen, S. Anil Lal

The flow past a heated cylinder is studied numeri-cally in the steady separated buoyancy aided flow regime (Reynolds number < 47) by using a hybrid finite element finite volume (FEM-FVM) solver. In this study we eluci-date the physics behind the Prandtl number effects on heat transfer from the cylinder surface
