In this project, the flow field effects associated with the single vortex ring, colliding with a sphere of constant temperature, was studied numerically with ANSYS Fluent based on Large Eddy Simulations. A vortex ring of Reynold number 2000 and sphere-to-ring diameter ratios of 1 were used respec...
