Abstract

Supersonic separated flow past a spiked body with a plane cap on the end of the spike (a flat plate or a wedge) is studied. The cases of both symmetric and nonsymmetric flow, with a rotating or nonrotating spike, are considered. The flow pattern, visualized by means of a Toepler instrument and a laser knife, and the limiting streamline patterns are analyzed. The reasons for the initiation of self-oscillations in the flow between the cap and the body are determined. The flow patterns for a rotating and nonrotating spike are compared.
