Abstract: | The results are given of a numerical investigation of the three-dimensional turbulent boundary layer formed on bielliptic bodies in a stream of compressible gas at an angle of attack. The investigation was made on the basis of the finite-difference method of calculation. The influence of a number of determining parameters on the development of the three-dimensional flows is analyzed. The characteristic flow regions in the boundary layer are found: lines of flow divergence and convergence, the region of “separation,” and flow division surfaces. The positions of the maximal values of the heat flux and the friction on the surface are determined, and the behavior of the limiting streamlines on the body is described. |
