A COMPOSITE CAVITY MODEL FOR AXISYMMETRICAL HIGH REYNOLDS-NUMBER SEPARATED FLOW .2. NUMERICAL-ANALYSIS AND RESULTS

In a companion paper (Wilmott and Fitt (1992)) a model was proposed fo r the separated high Reynolds number flow past a three-dimensional sle nder axisymmetric body. This 'composite' model assumes that downstream of the body there is both a region of constant pressure and a Prandtl -Batchelor region. Matched asymptotic expansions were employed to reco ver a non-linear integro-differential equation for the shape of the se parated region and some asymptotic solutions were obtained. The presen t study concerns the numerical solution of this equation and more deta iled results concerning the cavity shape and closure properties.
