Vortex Dynamics in The Transitional and Turbulent Wake of 6:1 Prolate Spheroid at 45-deg incidence angle

The incompressible flow past a 6:1 prolate spheroid with an inclination angle of 45o at Re = 3,000 has been studied by means of direct numerical simulations (DNS). The Reynolds number is based on the inflow velocity and minor-axis length. The preliminary results presented here are focused mainly on vortex dynamics and vortical structures in the...
