Abstract: Obstructed flow around single cylinder and two paratactic cylinders in nanoscale were investigated in the view of discrete particles. Transient and temporal-averaged flow and density fields were obtained to analyse the wake flow. For single cylinder case, Stokes flow, steady vortex flow, periodic vortex-shedding flow with the Karman vortex street and supersonic flow were distinguished based on Re. For two paratactic cylinders case, periodic vortex-shedding flow, periodic vortex-shedding flow with gap-flow, bistable flow and synchronised vortex-shedding flow were observed with different centre-to-centre pitch ratios. Despite of some special characteristics, the results indicate most macroscopic flow patterns still exist in nanoscale.
