This book was released on 1970 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation uses two methods for predicting the compressible wake characteristics behind two-dimensional and axisymmetric bodies in a supersonic free stream, the first involving use of shallow-water tow-channel data and mathematic relationships existing between water with a free surface and a two-dimensional, compressible gas, and the second which uses a momentum integral solution for the viscous wake and a mass flow balance across the bow shock for the inviscid wake. As part of this investigation, the theoretical solution for the two-dimensional wake was developed and the results were combined with available axisymmetric wake results into a general set of unified equations.
