INSTABILITIES NEAR THE ATTACHMENT-LINE OF A SWEPT WING IN COMPRESSIBLE FLOW

摘要

We report on the numerical investigation of the swept leading edge flow for a compressible fluid foi several Reynolds numbers and nose radii under supersonic conditions The classical Gortler-Hammerlin attachment line instability was recovered for this flow, but for the case of a finite nose radius, it was not found to be the dominant instability.
