EFFECT OF OPPOSING BUOYANCY ON CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER FROM A CYLINDER TO POWER-LAW FLUIDS

Abstract

Bluff body has received a great deal of attention especially for the prediction of loads on engineering structures such as offshore platform supports, ocean pipelines, risers, high buildings, bridge piers etc. and for analysis of wake control in aeronautical engineering as well (Mohammed and Salman, 2007). The flow around a circular cylinder depends on the Reynolds number and it undergoes tremendous changes as the Reynolds number increase from zero. The flow regimes experiences with increasing Reynolds number are summarised in...................
