Description:
Steady and unsteady, supersonic asymmetric vortical flows and their passive control around circular and noncircular cones are considered in this paper. These problems are formulated by using the unsteady, compressible, single and double, thin-layer. Navier-Stokes equations. The equations are solved by using an implicit, upwind, flux-difference splitting, finite-volume scheme, either in a pseudotime stepping or in an accurate-time stepping. An implicit, approximately-factored, central-difference finite-volume scheme has also been used to validate some applications of the upwind scheme. Steady asymmetric vortical flows have been predicted by using random and controlled disturbances for circular and noncircular cones. Unsteady asymmetric vortex-shedding flows have also been predicted, for the first time, using time-accurate solutions, for circular and noncircular cones. Control of flow asymmetry have been demonstrated computationally, for the first time, by inserting a vertical fin the leeward plane of geometric symmetry.
