By the use of optimization techniques along with experimental validation, it is shown that significant increases of delaying flow separations up to an elevation angle of 162.4° while maintaining a critical Mach number over 0.7 can be attained on a hemispherical turret without a downstream fairing. cache/v405s754p44.txt txt/v405s754p44.txt
