%X Immersed boundary (IB) method has proved its 
efficacy in handling complex fluid-structure interaction 
problems in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics 
(CFD). We present a two¨Cdimensional computational model 
based on an immersed boundary finite volume method to 
study flow over a stationary circular cylinder. Lagrangian 
coordinates are used to describe the cylinder and Eulerian 
coordinates are employed to describe the fluid flow. The 
Navier-Stokes equations governing the fluid are solved on a 
staggered Cartesian grid system using the fractional-step 
based finite volume method. Numerical simulations are 
performed for four different Reynolds numbers to 
demonstrate the flow behavior.
