... bow wave with purely supersonic flow . - Above a cer- tain free - stream Mach number , the value of which depends upon the magnitude of the wedge angle , the bow wave is attached to the apex of the wedge , and the local flow at all ...
... bow - wave profile may be used to obtain the detailed structure of the downstream regions of the disturbed flow field . This kind of information would in turn be required to determine the heat transfer to a cylindrical afterbody , the ...
... bow wave and the reflected blast wave . The result of the latter interaction is to cause the bow wave to move back out away from the model . Depending on the relative strengths of the bow wave and blast wave , either additional shock ...
... bow - wave profile . The method is approximate in one respect ; the assumption is made that the pressure distribution in a plane normal to the body axis is similar to that given by blast - wave theory . While this assumption is not ...
... bow wave , it can be readily estimated from the body bow wave slope that the flow Mach number approaching the wing leading edge is supersonic , approximately 4.4 . Therefore , the 76 ° sweptback wing leading edge will have a weak bow ...
... bow wave ahead of the hull's bow wave , and the two wave patterns cancel each other out . These extensions are commonplace on large ships , which use them to realize savings in wavemaking drag of 5 to 15 percent . ( The wave reduction ...
... bow wave series remains , the second of the two operations grows very much in relative importance . Suppose , for in- stance , the bow wave series has dwindled to half its original height when it has reached the afterbody , then we may ...
... bow wave series remains , the second of the two operations grows very much in relative importance . Suppose , for in- stance , the bow wave series has dwindled to half its original height when it has reached the afterbody , then we may ...
... bow- wave system ( i . e . , that which has already gone away out of reach of the action of after body ) , added to ( 2 ) the amount represented in the combined wave system made by the after body acting on the remaining portion of the ...
... bow wave system at the stern through viscosity and lateral spreading . For very considerable lengths of middle body , the height of the bow wave system at the stern was insufficient to produce interference or affect the resistance . The ...
