Abstract

The paper presents aerodynamic characteristics of thin cylindrical and conical shells in the incompressible flow. Experimental data and results of numerical simulation in the OpenFoam software are compared. It is shown that the aerodynamic characteristics of the thin shells differ from the aerodynamic characteristics of the corresponding solid bodies and depend on the shell geometry parameters.
