Effects of Forebody Geometry on Side Forces on a Cylindrical Afterbody at High Angles of Attack

Abstract

Hence, the lift force varies nonlinearly. Furthermore, for blunted-nose bodies, a two-vortex system appears, first symmetric, but, as the angle of attack becomes large, the asymmetric vortices develop at the rear of the body without vortex shedding. As a result, the region, where the side force is effective, covers the entire afterbody. On stream-
