Analysis of Laminar Boundary Layers on Right Circular Cones at Angle of Attack, Including Streamline-Swallowing Effects


Book Description

A method has been developed for treating the three-dimensional compressible laminar boundary-layer equations for a right circular cone at angle of attack in supersonic and hypersonic flow. Swallowing by the boundary layer of the inviscid entropy layer (streamline swallowing) has been treated by means of a mass-flow balance between the inviscid and viscous flowfields. The boundary-layer equations between the inviscid and viscous flowfields. The boundary-layer equations were developed in a general Crocco-variables form. A finite-difference technique was formulated for solving the governing equations and treating the streamline-swallowing phenomenon. The resulting second-order difference equations are solved in an iteration scheme. (Author).







Calculation of the Boundary-layer Flow in the Windward Symmetry Plane of a Spherically Blunted Axisymmetric Body at Angle of Attack, Including Streamline-swallowing Effects


Book Description

Three-dimensional compressible boundary-layer equations are particularized to the windward symmetry plane of a spherically blunted axisymmetric body at incidence under hypersonic conditions. Through the use eddy transport and streamwise intermittency both transitional and fully turbulent boundary layers may be treated. A scheme is presented for determining the outer-edge boundary conditions based on a mass flow balance treatment of the boundary-layer entrainment of the inviscid flow. A finite-difference technique is described for solving the set of partial differential equation governing the boundary-layer flow, and for treating the streamline-swallowing phenomenon.

Roll-damping Derivative Calculations for Spinning Sharp and Blunt Cones in Supersonic and Hypersonic Flow


Book Description

The boundary-layer equations in a Crocco variables form have been numerically solved for flow over spinning sharp and blunt cones at zero incidence to supersonic and hypersonic streams. Both laminar and turbulent flows have been treated, and for the blunt cases swallowing of the inviscid entropy layer by the boundary layer has been considered. The item of primary interest is roll damping, and results of a parametric study involving Mach number, Reynolds number, cone angle, and bluntness ratio are presented. Limited comparisons with experimental data and another method of computation are also presented. (Author).
