AB - A direct forcing method for the simulation of particulate flows based on  immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method is used to study the flow of  power-law fluid through an infinite array of circular cylinders with  cylinder separations of 20a (a is the cylinder radius) with laminar shedding  behind cylinders. Time averaged drag coefficient, maximum of lift  coefficient and Strouhal number are given out with the power-law index in  the range of 0.4 ≤ n ≤ 1.8 and Re in the range of 50 ≤ Re ≤ 140.
