Control Of Vortical Separation On A Circular Cone, Nikos J. Mourtos

For conical bodies, at moderate angles of attack, the flow separates from the lee side, forming two vortices. Although the vortex lift contrihution is highly desirable, as the angle of attack increases, the vortex system becomes asymmetric, and eventually the vortices breakdown. Thus, some control of the separation process is necessary if the vortex lift is to be exploited at higher angles of attack. The theoretical model which is used in this analysis has three parts. First, the 'single line-vortex' model is used within the framework of 'slender-body theory' to compute the outer inviscid field for specified separation lines. Second, …
