Evolution of clusters of turbulent reattachment due to shear layer instability in flow past a circular cylinder

Gaurav Chopra, Sanjay Mittal, R. I. Sujith

We perform large eddy simulations of flow past a circular cylinder for the Reynolds number ($Re$) range, $2\times 10^3\le Re\le 4\times 10^5$, spanning subcritical, critical and…
