SUPPLEMENTARY CYLINDER DRAG DATA FOR TRANSITION FLOW CONDITIONS

Abstract

The experimental results indicate a smooth transition from continuum drag coefficient values to predicted free molecular flow drag coefficients. Normalization of the measured drag values reveals a marked Mach number dependency. Future experimental programs are indicated, including extension to higher and lower Mach numbers, and a detailed pressure survey of the entire cylinder surface.
