✦ Synopsis

In a companion paper (Wilmott and Fitt (1992)) a model was proposed for the separated high Reynolds number flow past a three-dimensional slender axisymmetric body. This 'composite' model assumes that downstream of the body there is both a region of constant pressure and a Prandtl-Batchelor region. Matched asymptotic expansions were employed to recover a non-linear integro-differential equation for the shape of the separated region and some asymptotic solutions were obtained. The present study concerns the numerical solution of this equation and more detailed results concerning the cavity shape and closure properties.
