Abstract

The results of the numerical simulation of supersonic three-dimensional flow past sharp-nosed cones with circular and elliptic cross-sections in the turbulent shock-layer flow regime are presented. The calculations are performed in the local conical approximation using the system of Reynolds equations and the differential one-equation turbulence model. The numerical solutions are obtained by means of an implicit constant-direction finite-difference scheme. The emphasis is placed on the investigation of the transverse flow separation and the flow features associated with the turbulent flow regime.
