Vortex shedding (laminar model cylinder_flow)

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi
I have been trying to get the vortex shedding frequency and the St number from the standard COMSOL model of flow past cylinder. The model already plots the lift and drag coefficients, I just changed the x-axis of the 1D plot group to frequency spectrum to get the FFT. I am getting the St number at peak as 0.28 which differs from the standard values of St number found in literature which is 0.168 for Reynolds Number 100. I have not made any other change to the model.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
