Calculations of the pressure distributions and boundary-layer development on a body of revolution with various parabolic afterbodies at supersonic speeds

L. E. Fraenkel (1953)

Detailed calculations are made of the flow over a series of bodies at Mach numbers of 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 and Reynolds numbers of 48 to 72 millions. The bodies consist of a basic forebody and parallel portion to which are ...
Supersonic flow past slender bodies of elliptic cross-section

L. E. Fraenkel (1952)

The theories of supersonic flow past slender, smooth, pointed bodies of arbitrary cross-sectional shape, due to Ward, and of the flow past slender bodies of revolution with discontinuities in profile slope, due to Lighthill, ...
The theoretical wave drag of some bodies of revolution

L. E. Fraenkel (1951)

This report investigates the wave drag of bodies of revolution with pointed or open-nose forebodies and pointed or truncated afterbodies. The 'quasi-cylinder' and 'slender-body' theories are reviewed, a reversibility theorem ...
