What is Vortex Oscillations Around a Hemisphere-cylinder Body with a High Fineness Ratio about?

The vortex unsteadiness around a hemisphere-cylinder body at AOAs of 10 to 80 deg was studied using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD). The Reynolds number (Re) based on the cylinder diameter of the body is 22000. The results show that vortex oscillations exist over the forebody at the whole range of AOAs. The oscillation is characterized by alternate oscillations of a forebody leeward vortex pair up and down and in-phase swings from side to side. The vortex shedding can be found at the afterbody as AOAs more than 20o, and the shedding region moves forwards gradually with AOAs increasing, and accordingly the region of vortex oscillations contracts and eventually only exists near the nose as AOAs sufficiently high. The vortex oscillation and shedding all induce fluctuating side forces along the body, but the ones from vortex oscillations are larger. The frequencies of vortex oscillations are similar to the ones of vortex shedding at the AOAs of 10o-40o with St=0.085-0.12, in which the flow fields over the afterbody are dominated by vortex shedding and forebody-vortex wakes together; while at AOAs of 50o-80o, the frequencies along the body are apparently
