We analyze the asymmetric vortices in the flow over a slender body at high angle of attack by numerical simulations aiming a proportional control of the side forces generated by vortices with a device such as dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuator. With regard to the computational method, Reynolds averaged Navier Stokes/large-eddy simulation hybrid method is adopted with high-order compact spatial difference scheme. The grid convergence analysis is firstly conducted and the results show that the computational grid adopted in this study is fine enough for qualitative discussion. The total number of the grid point is 411 million points. Then, the effects of bump height on flow fields and aerodynamic characteristics are discussed. Note that bump is added near the body apex to simulate the symmetry-breaking imperfection. As a higher bump is adopted, stronger asymmetry is observed in the flow fields. On the other hand, side-force has nonlinearity with the bump height.
