A random walk is imposed to simulate the viscous diffusion, the vortex-in-cell method is used to obtain the convection velocity, and nascent vortices are created on a cylinder to satisfy the zero-slip condition. The impulsively started flow around a circular cylinder and the separation induced by a pair of incident vortices symmetrically approaching a circular cylinder have been successfully simulated by the hybrid scheme. The impulsively started flow from rest has been computed at Reynolds numbers 3000 and 9500. Comparisons are made with those results of finite-difference method, vortex method and flow visualization. Agreement is good. The particular attention has been paid to the evolutions of flow pattern. A topological analysis has been proposed in the region of the near wake. The bulge, isolated secondary vortex, a pair of secondary vortices, ' forewake phenomenon and other patterns are simulated numerically. The separation induced by a pair of incident vortices approaching a circular cylinder has been investigated by using the same scheme. The rebounding phenomenon of the incident vortex is observed and is attributed to the effect of the secondary vortex. In particular, we have found that a tertiary vortex can be formed near the surface; this phenomenon has been verified by flow visualization reported recently.展开更多
