Abstract: | Numerical solutions for the laminar, compressible, three-dimensional boundary layer on general, sharp bodies of revolution at angle of attack with moderate axial spin are described. Unique solutions to the boundary layer equations are obtained by a finite-difference technique which properly treats the elliptic nature of the flow in a crossflow plane. Results are presented and compared with experiment for a tangent ogive-cylinder at four degrees angle of attack with and without spin. The results indicate that viscous flow solutions for spinning bodies at angle of attack can be obtained within the framework of conventional boundary layer theory. These solutions are free from the anomalies observed in a previous investigation. |
