The thesis aims to compare the results of numerical simulation of fluid dynamics in moving and stationary frames. Three flow configurations were tested, namely a flat plate, a NACA0009 aerofoil and a cylinder, essentially changing from thin to bluff body types. The flow domain and the body mesh are...
