| Abstract: | It is shown that under conditions of local interaction of a flow with the surface of a body the position of the center of pressure does not depend on the angle of attack or the form of the model of the flow past the body for a large class of configurations including conical, cylindrical, spherical, and flat elements. The problem of finding the shape of conical bodies with unchanged position of the center of pressure in a supersonic flow without slip was formulated by Ostapenko 1], who also found the shape of some such bodies.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 129–133, September–October, 1982. |
