Computation of viscous flows due to an oscillating cylinder of rectangular cross section.

Incompressible flows due to an oscillating cylinder of rectangular cross section in viscous fluid are governed by Navier-Stokes equations. In this thesis, these equations will be reformulated in a weak sense and their solution approximated by Finite Element Method. Fictitious Boundary Method is used as a tool to handle time dependent boundary. Behavior of a fluid was computed using these methods and is illustrated for various parameters, especially a behavior of the vortices originated in liquid He II is compared to an experiment
