Abstract
The high subsonic flow past a slender body of revolution placed along the axis of a circular cylindrical wind tunnel at zero incidence is discussed. Neglecting the square of the perturbation velocity q ' 2 in comparison with q ' and the spatial derivatives of q ' 2 , making use of a certain transformation of variables, the fundamental equation for determining the perturbation stream function of this transonic flow can be reduced to the equation which is formally equal to the fundamental equation of transonic flow past a two-dimensional body placed along the center line between two parallel flat walls. Considering the transonic similar solution due to von Karman and the general similarity rule of the axisymmetric transonic flow derived by Oswatisch and Berndt, we can obtain very easily the surface pressure coefficient C pax of an axisymmetric flow, provided the surface pressure coefficient C p 2 of a two-dimensional flow can be found. As an example the pressure distribution on the surface of a paraboloid o...
