Abstract

The pressure distribution on the surface of a body with an external contour comprising various combinations of conical regions and a blunt spherical leading edge has been experimentally studied and theoretically interpreted for variable hypersonic streamlining conditions. It is established that the pressure gradient, the degree of turbulence of the air flow, and the breaks of the body contour are, in addition to the Reynolds number, important factors determining the pattern of streamlining.
