文档介绍：Fluid Flow Around and Heat Transfer ter. In this study a circular cylinder is considered in cross flow to
investigate the fluid flow and heat transfer from a cylinder for a
From an Infinite Circular wide range of Reynolds and Prandtl numbers.
A review of existing literature reveals that most of the studies
Cylinder related to a single isolated cylinder are experimental or numerical.
They are applicable over a fixed range of conditions. Furthermore,
W. A. Khan no analytical study gives a closed form solution for the fluid flow
and heat transfer from a circular cylinder for a wide range of
J. R. Culham Reynolds and Prandtl numbers. At most, they provide a solution at
the front stagnation point or a solution of boundary layer equa-

solution is obtained for the drag coefficients and Nusselt number,
which can be used for a wide range of parameters. For this pur-
