Abstract The two-dimensional flow around a stationary heated circular cylinder at low Reynolds numbers of 50 < Re < 210 is investigated numerically using the FLUENT commercial software package. The dimensionless vortex shedding frequency (St) reduces with increasing temperature at a given Reynolds number. The effective temperature concept was used and St-Re data were successfully transformed to the St-Reeff curve. Comparisons include root-mean-square values of the lift coefficient and Nusselt number. The results agree well with available data in the literature.

Extensive laboratory experiments were carried out to investigate the uniform-shear flow approaching a circular cylinder. The aim was to present the Strouhal number (St)- Reynolds number (Re) diagrams over a broad range of the shear parameter K (0 ≤ K ≤ 0.25) and at higher values of Re (600 ≤ Re ≤ 1600). An image processing technique, in conjunction with flow visualization studies, was used to secure more quantitative depictions of vortex shedding from the cylinder. The Strouhal number increases with increasing shear parameter. The drag coefficient decreases with increasing Re; also, Cd decreases as the shear parameter K increases.
