Abstract

The flow past axisymmetric bodies of various shapes in expanding cavities and cylindrical channels is studied on the basis of a numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. For each body shape velocity, pressure and shear stress distributions are obtained. These data are then used for the purposes of a comparative flow analysis in terms of body shape and Reynolds number. The properties characteristic of flows around bodies in channels and cavities with moving boundaries are determined.
