An Experimental Investigation of Steady Asymmetric Vortex Shedding from a Slender Body of Revolution at High Angles of Attack

Abstract

An experimental investigation of the effects of Mach number and Reynolds number on the side forces induced on a slender body of revolution at high angles of attack was conducted. The tests were carried out in the Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory's Trisonic Gasdynamic Facility.
