Model and study incompressible flow of water over a surface with two
circular cylinders placed in a row. Analyze velocity vectors, boundary layer
thickness and drag coefficient for 6 different cases by considering 3
different lengths between the cylinders (L=2,6&10cm) and 2 different
Velocities of water (Uo= 1m/s & 100m/s).
 Geometry

 Two dimensional.
 Enough trail to observe the flow patterns.
 Meshing

Mesh element size is 0.05mm, as it is necessary to accurately capture the flow,

especially around the cylinder edges.
