Flow past a square cylinder has been studied extensively for over a century, because of its interesting flow features and practical applications. This problem is of fundamental interest as well as important in many engineering applications. The characteristics of flow around a square cylinder placed at symmetric condition are governed by the Reynolds number (Re). In the present paper two dimensional simulations of flow past a square cylinder have been carried out for a Reynolds number of up to 160. The modeling of the problem is done by GAMBIT 2.3 preprocessing software. The computations are carried out using a commercial CFD solver, FLUENT 6 .3, which uses a finite volume approach to discretise governing and model equations for incompressible laminar flow.
