Transonic Flow Past Cone-Cylinders

Experimental results are presented for transonic flow past cone-cylinder, axially symmetric bodies. The drag coefficient, surface Mach number, etc. are studied as the free stream Mach number is varied and, wherever possible, the experimental results are compared with theoretical predictions. Interfe...
