Summary

Some experiments are described in which an axisymmetric free shear layer attaches to a spherical surface, the exterior flow Mach number ranging from 0-75 to 207. The Chapman-Korst reattachment model is shown to correlate the results very well. The relation between the quantities measured and the numerical predictions of the model is discussed in detail and it is shown that the pressure changes which occur just downstream of reattachment are significantly different from those observed on flat walls.
