AB - A numerical investigation of the two-dimensional laminar flow and heat  transfer a rotating circular cylinder with uniform planar shear, where the  free-stream velocity varies linearly across the cylinder using  Multi-Relaxation-Time Lattice Boltzmann method is conducted. The effects of  variation of Reynolds number, rotational speed ratio at shear rate 0.1,  blockage ratio 0.1 and Prandtl number 0.71 are studied. The Reynolds number  changing from 50 to 160 for three rotational speed ratios of 0, 0.5, 1 is  investigated. Results show that flow and heat transfer depends significantly  on the rotational speed ratio as well as the Reynolds number. The effect of  Reynolds number on the vortex-shedding frequency and period-surface Nusselt  numbers is overall very strong compared with rotational speed ratio. Flow and  heat conditions characteristics such as lift and drag coefficients, Strouhal  number and Nusselt numbers are studied.
