Abstract

The analysis for the three-dimensional fluid flow past tube banks arranged in equilateral-triangular form at Re$\_$max/=4,000 is carried out using a large eddy simulation technique. The governing equations for the mass and momentum conservation are discretized using the finite volume method. Parallel computational techniques using MPI (Message Passing Interface) are implemented in the present computer code. The computation time decreases linearly proportional to the number of used CPUs in the present parallel computation. We obtained the time-averaged streamwise and cross-streamwise velocities and turbulent intensities. The present numerical results are compared with the PIV experimental data and agree generally well with the experimental data.
