8、cwind tunnel.INTRODUCTIONThe present investigation is concerned with the pressureacting on the base of an object moving at a supersonicveracity. This problem is of considerable practical impor-tance since in certain cases the base drag can amount to asmuch as two-thirds of the total drag of a body o

9、f revolution,and over three-fourths of the total drag of an airfoil. In thepast, numerous measurements of base pressure on bodies ofrevolution have been made both in supersonic wind tunnelsand in free flight, but these experimental investigations havehad no adequate theory to guide them. As a result

10、, thepresent-day knowledge of base pressure is undesirablylimited and some inconsistencies appear in the existingexperimental data.Various hypotheses as to the fundamental mechanismwhich determines the base pressure on bodies of revoh|tionwere advanced years ago by Lorenz, Gabeaud, and yonKtirm/in.

37、 since any negativevalue of P_ algebraically greater than -0.30 also wouldhave permitted a flow pattern to be constructed and stillsatisfy all boundary conditions.

Since it is theselimiting solutions which will be singled out later for furtheruse, a special symbol P,j will be used to designate the base pressure coefficient of such flows.
