Abstract

This paper analyses a numerical model of a flow around an obstacle bounded in a channel with arbitrary walls. The model is based on the usual two-dimensional model of ideal incompressible weightless fluid. It is validated here by comparison with analytical findings and experimental data, which consisted of the velocity field determined by particle image velocimetry (PIV). Despite the simplicity of our wake model, the numerical data are usually in good agreement with the analytical and experimental data.
