Experimental Study of Controlled Surface Imperfection Effects on Vortex Asymmetry of Conical Bodies at High Angles of Incidence

At high angles of attack, asymmetric vortices are formed on the leeward side of flight vehicles with pointed forebodies due to the random surface imperfections near the forebody apex. These vortices induce adverse side forces and yaw moments. The forces generated are too large to be controlled using...
