Separation of Three-Dimensional Flow.
Abstract
Separation patterns of three-dimensional flow are discussed here, partly on the basis of limited calculated results, but mostly on experimental observations and intuition. Generally the separation pattern is rather independent of whether the boundary layer is laminar or turbulent and whether the flow is incompressible or hypersonic. The difference is in degree, not character. Various three-dimensional separation criteria are reviewed and the open-vs-closed separation idea, particularly is presented, in detail. The bulk of this work is divided into three parts, dealing with the separation over elongated inclined bodies, airplane wings at incidence, and around the corners between intersecting bodies.
