Abstract : In the present study, numerical simulation was carried out for the flow around the two inline equilateral triangular cylinders at different gap ratios (G/D) for various Reynolds numbers (Re). The numerical investigations are carried out for 75 ≤ Re ≤ 200 and 0 ≤ G/D ≤ 2.5. The governing differential equations for laminar incompressible flow are discretized using finite volume method and PISO algorithm is employed to convert PDE to algebraic equation using the open-source software package. The effect of G/D ratio and Re on the non-dimensional shedding frequency Strouhal number (St) is investigated with the aid of vorticity plot and velocity profiles.
