The Effect of Nose Blunting on the Wave Drag of Ogive Forebodies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 June 2016
Summary
A theoretical method is used to predict the surface pressure distribution and drag-rise characteristics of blunted ogive forebodies. The results confirm the observation that a moderate degree of nose blunting can reduce wave drag relative to that of a pointed body of the same fineness ratio. An analysis of the theoretical data provides a simple explanation of this phenomenon.
