A computer simulation of separated flow past profiles with sharp corners
Abstract
A computer simulation of separated flow past profiles with sharp corners is presented, with the profile and the wake modeled by vortex surfaces. A modification of the discrete vortex method is proposed which makes it possible to directly determine the potential at the points of interest. Computational results are presented for bodies of various shapes, and the mean values of the drag coefficient are determined.
