Main types of free separation in model ellipsoids
Abstract
Hydrodynamic visualization tests were performed to study free three dimensional separation at high angles of attack in turbulent flow. A hydraulic tunnel was used. The variation of separation with Reynolds number and incidence are shown, as well as the effect of the model shape parameters such as aspect ratio, relative thickness, and symmetry.
