Resumen

The flow at low Mach numbers and high angles of attack over axisymmetric configurations is not symmetric. The mechanism that triggers the asymmetry is a combination of a global (temporal) instability and a convective (spatial) instability. This latter instability is caused by roughness and other geometrical imperfections, which lead to roll angle dependent forces. The flow at these conditions has a complex vortex sheet structure, with two or three different flow regions. An accurate simulation by means of Computational Flow Dynamics (CFD) is thus very challenging, and many researchers have therefore employed Large Eddy Simulation (LES) codes. This study demonstrates that Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) methods are a suitable alternative, if Scale Adaptive Simulation (SAS) is used. This method is capable of capturing the main flow features, provided that fine meshes, which achieve geometrical similarity between the meshed geometry and the real object, and small-time steps are used. It is also demonstrated that, by using URANS methods in combination with SAS, strong differences in the global and local forces depending on the surface roughness of the model are obtained, a result which coincides with several wind tunnel tests.
