Notes:
This paper presents the finite element method for the analysis of unsteady viscous flow of fluid at high Reynolds numbers. The method is based on the explicit numerical integration scheme in time and uses three node triangular finite elements. For the convenience of the formulation, slight compressibility is considered. For the explicit scheme, the selective lumping two step scheme has been successfully employed. Vortex shedding behind a cylinder has been computed and compared with the conventional experimental results. The results agree favourably when both schemes are compared.
