The Influence of Reynolds Number at High Mach Numbers*

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  28 July 2016

Extract

The experiments were carried out in the high speed wind tunnel at Guidonia on three brass spheres of 40, 60 and 80 mm. diameter, supported on rear spindles and on two steel cylinders of 15 and 30 mm. diameter respectively, which passed through the air jet.

Both the total drag and pressure difference between the front stagnation point and a variable point at the rear were measured.

The pressure distribution on similar models which could be rotated and which were provided with pressure holes was also determined.
