Experimental Study of Base Pressure of Round Cylinders of Great Elongation

Abstract

A vacuum appears behind the blunt base of a body of revolution which is in a supersonic gas flow. The degree of the vacuum determines the magnitude of the base wake drag - one of the components of total drag of a body.
