Theory of High-Reynolds-Number Flow Past a Blunt Body

  • Conference paper
Studies of Vortex Dominated Flows

Part of the book series: ICASE NASA LaRC Series ((ICASE/NASA))

Summary

Recent computational results and theoretical developments are discussed, first for flow past a blunt body or thick airfoil, at high Reynolds numbers. A theory based on a massive main eddy behind the body is described and appears so far to be not inconsistent with the computational trends. Some properties and numerical solutions of the massive-eddy problem posed are also presented. Second, relatively large-scale separation is reconsidered from the viewpoint of viscousinviscid interactive motions for smaller-sized disturbances. Throughout, viscous effects have a primary role in avoiding the arbitrariness present in inviscid theory.
