FLOW AROUND MISSILE CONFIGURATION AT VERY HIGH ANGLE OF ATTACK
Locally-Conical Flow
Flow Conditions
- Laminar flow over a slender cone with semi-apex angle of 5 degree
- Thin-Layer Navier-Stokes Equations is used
- Angle of attack is 30 degree, Mach Number is 1.8, and Reynolds number is 10,000
- Type of disturbance to break the flow symmetry is machine round-off error
- Time step is 0.001 and periodic response is reached with shedding frequency is 4.49
