3차원 Floquet 안정성 분석을 위한 가상 경계법의 적용

An immersed boundary method(IBM, Kim et al.(2001)) for simulating flows over complex geometries is applied to computation of three-dimensional Floquet stability of a periodic wake. Floquet stability analysis is employed to extract different modes of three-dimensional instability. To verify the present method, a fully-resolved Floquet stability calculation for flow past a circular cylinder is considered. There are two different instability modes with long(mode A) and short (mode B) spanwise wavelengths for the periodic wake of a circular cylinder. The critical Reynolds number and the most unstable spanwise wavelengths of modes A and B are computed using the present method, and compared with other authors' results currently available.
