FLOW SEPARATION IN HIGH SPEED FLIGHT. A REVIEW OF THE STATE-OF-THE-ART
Abstract
A physical explanation is given of the two types of flow separation classified as boundary layer separation and breakaway separation. A short discussion of the fluid dynamic complexity of the problem is presented. Such characteristics of separated flows as the pertinent descriptive parameters, state of flow, length of separated region, compression process, flow steadiness, and threedimensional effects are discussed. The effects of flow separation on the pressure, skin friction and heat transfer distribution are described, and a review of semiempirical methods for calculating the critical overall pressure rise, the geometry of the separated region, and the heat transfer at reattachment is presented.
