Abstract
There is great practical incentive to simulate by computer the flow around a submarine. Potential models currently in use are limited in their treatment of separation. According to Maskell’s classification the flow leaves the surface in either a bubble-type (closed streamline) separation or a free- shear-layer (open streamline) separation. We hypothesize that open separation is an inviscid but rotational phenomenon that is correctly described by the incompressible Euler equations. The large-scale numerical simulation using over 600,000 computational cells which is presented here for flow around a 9.5:1 ellipsoidal body supports the conjecture.
