INVESTIGATION ON THE REYNOLDS NUMBER EFFECT ON FLOW ASYMMETRY OVER SLENDER BODIES AT HIGH INCIDENCE

Investigation of Reynolds number effect on flow asymmetry over slender bodies at high incidence was conducted. Results show that increasing of wind velocity affects flow asymmetry by changing the intensity of the vortices; Model scale affects the distance between the main vortices, which determines the stability of the vortices and results in the discrepancy in the flow asymmetry over different scale models.
