Vortex shedding is one of the most interesting phenomenon in turbulent flow. This phenomenon was first studied by Strouhal. In this paper, the analysis of vortex shedding around a 2 dimensional circular cylinder with Reynolds No of 200, 500, and 1000 with different angle of attack 0 0 , 5 0 , and 10 0 has been studied. In this simulation an implicit pressure-based finite volume method and second order implicit scheme is used. Flow has been studied with the help of Navier-Stokes and continuity
