MEASURED AND THEORETICAL VELOCITY COMPONENTS OF AN 8:1 ELLIPSOID AT AN ANGLE OF ATTACK OF SIX DEGREES,

Abstract

Plots are presented of the experimentally obtained velocity components and those predicted by potential theory for an ellipsoid of revolution with an 8:1 slenderness ratio at an angle of attack of six degrees. This documentation is intended to be a valuable set of experimental data for use by those investigating fluid-mechanic problems different from those investigated by the author in a previous study.
