The Viscous Layer in the Symmetry Plane of a Sharp Cone at Incidence.

Abstract

Numerical solutions for the wind and lee symmetry planes on sharp cones at incidence are obtained for both laminar and turbulent boundary layers. Comparisons are made between solutions obtained with the similarity boundary layer equations, the non-similar boundary layer equations and the non-similar boundary region equations. For large incidence, after crossflow reversal has occurred, non-similar boundary layer solutions are obtained at the leeplane but are in poor agreement with experimental data. For turbulent flows, non-similar boundary layer solutions are obtained in all cases.
