• Source term model

A numerical study on flows around a slender body of revolution at a high angle of attack is conducted to investigate the influence of strength and circumferential angle of perturbation on flow asymmetry. A source term model is applied to simulate a real geometrical perturbation near the tip of the slender body. It can greatly facilitate the adjustment of perturbation strength. The results show that the bistable phenomenon does not appear any more at a small perturbation strength. For different perturbation strengths, the energy of the asymmetric perturbation flow experiences a similar spatial exponential growth regime with the same growth rate. The appearance of the bistable phenomenon is closely related to nonlinear saturation of the perturbation flow as perturbation strength increases.
