Abstract
A study was conducted on two cylindrical models having13; a hemispherical end mounted norBal to a wind tunnel wall.13; The height of the cylindrical part was equal to the radius.13; The interest in this geometry stems from radomes, nuclear13; reactors and large telescope buildings. The diameters of13; the two models were 7.62cm and 15.24cm, and the experiments13; were conducted at two Reynolds numbers basedon the cylinder13; diameter, namely, 1 x 105 and 2 x 105. Static pressure13; surveys and oil flow visualization studies were carried out. The pressure data indicated approximately two-dimensional flow field over 70% of the cylinder height and a constant pressure region near the top of the hemispherical end extending to about 3% of the modeiquot;'height,which indicated the presence of flow separation near the top. The observed flow patterns indicated the presence of 3-D upstream separation and horse-shoe vortex system. However, a striking feature is that the near-wake structure is markedly different at the above two Reynolds numbers.
