Download or read book Reynolds Number Effects on the Induced Pressures of Cylindrical Bodies with Different Nose Shapes and Nose Drag Coefficients in Helium at a Mach Number of 24 written by Richard D. Wagner (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exact inviscid pressure distributions and shock shapes, obtained by the method of characteristics, are compared with experimental data. The results indicate a strong dependence of induced pressures upon Reynolds number, especially in the region immediately downstream of the nose-cylinder junction. The measured shock shapes revealed no discernible effect of Reynolds number variations.
