The results of an experimental investigation of the flow past cone-cylinder bodies with small angles of the bend in the body generator at the leading corner edge (θ s ≤ 20 • ) and the available data on the flow past cone-cylinder and segment-cylinder bodies with large angles of the bend in the generator (θ s, c ≥ 30 • ) are generalized. On the basis of these data, the distinctive features of the transonic flow past these bodies and, primarily, the flow restructuring downstream of the leading corner edge at θ s ≥ 30 • are established and the characteristic gasdynamic parameters are determined. Emphasis is placed on the critical stage of flow restructuring, the nature of the stationary aerodynamic hysteresis, and the effect of the Reynolds number and wave disturbances.
The distinctive features of the transonic flow past cone-cylinder bodies with small angles of the bend in the body generator at the leading corner edge are considered. The mechanism of transonic flow restructuring downstream of the edge and the associated variation of the gasdynamic parameters are studied, the reasons for the formation of aerodynamic hysteresis are established, and the effect of the length of the cylindrical part of the body is determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
