Abstract
This work analyzes the transonic flow around a rotating circular cylinder by using direct numerical simulations. The combination of the uniform freestream flow with the flow due to the rotation of the cylinder generates a lift force (Magnus effect) that, for transonic flows, can be conditioned by the presence of a shock wave on the suction side. In addition, the dependence of lift and drag forces with the dimensional parameters of the problem has been tested. The numerical simulations have been performed with the SU2 code, which solves the Navier-Stokes equations for compressible flow using a second-order finite volume scheme combined with different convective flow reconstruction schemes: JST and HLLC. Finally, an implicit time integration scheme combined with the dual time-stepping method has been used.
