Large-eddy simulations (LES) are used to investigate the modifications or wake dynamics and turbulence characteristics behind a circular cylinder placed near a wall for varying gap-to-diameter (G/D) ratios (where G signifies the gap between the wall and the cylinder, and D the cylinder diameter) The three-dimensional (3-D), time-dependent, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with a dynamic subgrid-scale model are solved using a symmetry-preserving finite-difference scheme of second-order spatial and temporal accuracy The immersed boundary (IB) method is employed to impose the no-slip boundary condition on the cylinder surface Flow visualizations along with turbulence statistics are presented to gain insight into the flow structures that are clue to Interaction between the shear layers and the approaching boundary layer Apart from the vortex shedding mechanism, the paper illustrates the physics Involving the shear layer transition, stretching, breakdown and turbulence generation, either qualitatively or quantatively, in the presence of a wall for a Reynolds number of Re = 1440 (based on D and the inlet free-stream velocity U(infinity)) (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
