MEASUREMENTS OF THE STATIC PRESSURE DISTRIBUTIONS AND SHOCK SHAPE ON AN OBLATE SPHEROID AT MACH NUMBERS OF 3 AND 6

Abstract

The results of experimental measurements of the static pressure distribution and bow shock shape on an oblate spheroid are presented. This experiment was conducted at nominal Mach numbers of 3 and 6 and a free stream Reynolds number range of 2,300,000 to 5,800,000 per foot. Comparisons are made with the calculated values of several different laboratories.
