The problems of fluid flow and heat transfer phenomena over an array of cylinders are quite prominent in fluid dynamics and industry applications. The current work focuses on fluid flow and heat transfer analysis over two heated rotating cylinders arranged in tandem. The flow of water over heated cylinders faces a phenomenon of phase change from liquid (water) to vapor phase (steam). The mechanism of this phase change is studied through a numerical simulation supplemented with verification of the code and validation. The problem is simulated when flows from two cylinders in a tandem arrangement become interacting and non-interacting. The Eulerian model is used during simulation to comprehend the multiphase phenomena. The volume fractions of both the phases such as water and vapor and heat transfer coefficients of both the cylinders have been computed and presented as findings of the problem. The mass and heat transfer mechanism is unidirectional from one phase to the other phase. The vapor fraction of each phase is to be observed and compared when three different rotations are given to the two cylinders immersed in a turbulent flow of water.

As the support structures of building for crossing river, piers of bridge and/or aqueduct are generally arranged in tandem along the river direction, the fluid dynamic forces are main lateral loads acting on the Piers. Two-dimensional fluid computations have been performed using LES model to investigate the flows around three circular piers in tandem arrangements at a supercritical Reynolds number, Re =8.76×106. Both center-to-center spaces are L/D=2.6. The flows and fluid-dynamic forces obtained from the simulations are analyzed. The results can provide the basis for the dynamic design of the supporting structures of the aqueducts.

The wind environment around two high-rise buildings in tandem arrangement at a Reynolds number of 1 000 were investigated using the lattice Boltzmann method. The numerical simulation results reveal some meaningful regularitiess about the formation and evolution of the complex vortex system around the high-rise buildings. A periodicity phenamenon in the process of the vortex evolution were observed in the numerical simulations. The space between the two buildings is nearly a silent regime with very low velocity, and this is disadvantageous for the transport and dilution of the pollutants. Wind velocity above the front building is relatively large and the maximum wind velocity is approximate 3.0 times the incoming wind velocity. These numerical results can be used in layout planning of high-rise residential buildings to create better environment for the purpose of ventilation and utilization of wind energy in urban area.
