What about two cylinders inline? I am trying to see how vortex shedding of the leading cylinder affects the next. This would help me understand lift effects of bundled wires in the air. Like on a high voltage transmission line.
Hi Steve, first be careful that this is a steady and laminar simulation, whereas most real-life flows are turbulent, and therefore unsteady. For most practical applications, you need to set your simulation for both unsteady and turbulent simulation. If this is done correctly, then adding a second cylinder to the simulation is a straight forward extension of what is shown here. Hope this helps.
