Abstract

Using an exact solution of the Euler equations, the pressure distributions over some axisymmetric bodies with a negative pressure gradient over the majority of the surface (from 99.7% to 88% of the total body length) have been calculated. The results of wind tunnel tests for these bodies are presented.
