Abstract
The results of a numerical study of the flow around a circular rotating cylinder under the subcritical regime of the Reynolds number are presented. A numerical flow simulation was carried out using the Realisable k-ε turbulence model, which effectively visualizes the fallout of vortices. At Reynolds numbers 16,000, 30000, and 50,000 and revolutions 300,500 and 700, the velocity field around the cylinder with the plate and the static pressure distribution field around the cylinder with the plate are obtained. It is determined that with an increase in the rotation frequency of the cylinder with the plate, the vortex formation increases. In the future, there will be an increase in lifting force and drag force due to an increase in flow velocity and, consequently, a decrease in pressure. Due to the rotational motion, there is a change in the pressure field at the ends of the cylinder with the plate.
