    This document provides instructions for remotely accessing COMSOL software and an overview of the basic steps for modeling problems in COMSOL. It includes examples of modeling flow past a cylinder and cavity flow. The basic steps involve defining the physics and geometry of the problem, setting boundary conditions, meshing, solving, and post-processing the results. It also provides exercise problems involving momentum, heat, and mass transfer and tips for using COMSOL effectively.

    Example: Flow Past a Cylinder- Benchmark test for CFD algorithms


    Unsteady, incompressible flow
    Wake formationUnordered eddies Large drag on body

    Cylinder: Off center, otherwise steady state symmetric flow Objective : Frequency and amplitude of vibration (Forces) at various fluid speed Reynolds # based on cylinder diameter 1. Slow flow (below Re # 100) -steady flow (start with this to correct simple errors and
    mistakes)

    2. Fast flow - (Re # = 100)- developed Von Karman vortex street (not fully
    turbulence)
