A COMPARISON OF PRESSURES PREDICTED BY EXACT AND APPROXIMATE THEORIES WITH SOME EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS ON AN OGIVAL NOSED BODY AT A MACH NUMBER OF 2.00,

Abstract

A comparison is made of the pressures which are predicted by use of the exact theory of Stone, as well as by the approximate 'small perturbations' theory, with some experimental results obtained on an ogival nose of a fusiform body. The theoretical semi-vertex angle of this ogival nose was designed to be 11 degrees 19 minutes; the tests were run at a Mach number of 2.00. (Author)
