Numerical prediction of subsonic turbulent flows over slender bodies at high incidence

The physical aspects governing accurate numerical simulation of turbulent flows having large regions of crossflow separation are re-examined. Time-accurate, three-dimensional fine-grid Navier-Stokes solutions were obtained for turbulent subsonic flows over a slender ogive-cylinder body of revolution at large angles of attack. These flowfields are complex and contain regions of crossflow separation and an organized leeward-side vortex structure. An algebraic eddy-viscosity turbulence model has been modified to correctly account for the effects of the vortices on the underlying viscous layers
