Abstract
The drag coefficient,
, of an arbitrary shaped object can be calculated by two-dimensional hydrodynamic cellular automata. Results spanning nearly
four orders of magnitude in the Reynolds number (
) are presented for a simple, hexagonal object, and good quantitative agreement with previous experiments on cylinders is
obtained.
