Vortex shedding, flow separation, and drag coefficient in the flow past an ellipsoid of different aspect ratios at moderate Reynolds number

Incompressible viscous flow past an ellipsoid of different aspect ratios (ARs, the ratio of the vertical to the horizontal axis of the ellipsoid, is ranged from 0.5 to 2) at a Reynolds number of 300 is investigated numerically by a finite volume method with adaptive mesh refinement, and the effects...
