Abstract
The steady flow of an incompressible viscous fluid past an elliptic cylinder with minor-to-major axis ratio of 0.2 and at incidence to the free stream is considered. Numerical results for Reynolds number up to 450 and inclination angle varying from 0° to 20° are presented which permit completion of a bifurcation diagram describing the wake topology behind the cylinder in terms of three regions: Region I with no separation; Region II with a single recirculatory region attached to the cylinder; and Region III with two recirculatory regions, one attached and one unattached.
