The Transfer and Transport of a Passive Scalar Within an Isolated Array of Circular Cylinders in a Uniform Flow

Abstract The transfer and transport of a passive scalar T from an isolated array of circular cylinders of varying Reynolds number ( ) and solid fraction (0.0023 < ϕ < 0.3) in a uniform steady flow are investigated. This problem is an abstraction of the flow past emergent vegetation or marine aquaculture, in which passive contaminants are continuously generated. […]
