Navier-Stokes Solution of a Slender Body of Revolution at Incidence
The three-dimensional flowfield surrounding an ogive cylinder at angle of attack is solved through integration of the complete Navier-Stokes equations. The leeside vortex pattern is computed for a three caliber ogive cylinder at Mach number 1.98. Laterally-symmetric three-dimensional flowfields are obtained on a CRAY-1 computer in 40 min utilizing MacCormack's algorithm as vectorized by Shang. The computed results compare favorably with the experimental data in that all primary features are captured. d e E,F,G k L n p q r R RB
