Abstract: A Finite Volume Method have been performed in simulation of creeping flow around a circular cylinder contained between plates. By adopting the SIMPLE algorithm the governing equations are solved together with Papanastasious regularization. Apparent viscosity is calculated on each iteration by using forward difference operation. Yield surfaces are studied over the range of Oldroyd number 10 =Od= 104 . The model results are found to be in good agreement with obtained results of the other method.

Keywords: Creeping flow, Finite Volume Method, Yielded and unyielded zone, Bingham number.
