Abstract : Forced convection from an uniformly heated square cylinder placed in linear shear flow of constant properties fluid is numerically investigated at Reynolds number, Re=100, shear rate, K=0.0-0.2 and Prandtl number, Pr=0.5. The two-dimensional mathematical equations of flow motion and energy are solved using a higher order compact (HOC) finite difference scheme on Cartesian grids. The effect of K is investigated on flow and thermal fields in terms of isotherm patterns, Nusselt number distributions etc. The resulting vortex shedding phenomena behind the cylinder is detected and thermal field is determined.
