Numerical study of the onset of instability in the flow past a sphere.
Experiment shows that the steady axisymmetric flow past a sphere becomes unstable in the range 120 < Re < 300. The resulting time-dependent nonaxisymmetric flow gives rise to nonaxisymmetric vortex shedding at higher Reynolds numbers. The present work reports a computational investigation of t...
