Abstract

In the framework of the Navier-Stokes equations, a numerical solution is found to the problem of longitudinal (axisymmetric) flow of a viscous perfect heat conducting gas past a cylinder with a flat front end at subsonic and transonic velocities of the oncoming flow. The flow in the neighborhood of the corner of the cylinder is investigated and a study made of the occurrence and development of detached flow along the side of the cylinder. Tie heat fluxes to the surface of the cylinder are determined, and the influence of the temperature of the wall of the cylinder on the development of the separation is found. The investigations yield the critical Reynolds number Re0 for the occurrence of a detached flow as a function of the Mach number of the oncoming flow for the investigated bodies.
