| Popis: | The results of measurements of the drag of axisymmetric bodies with smooth and ribbed central cylindrical sections and affinely similar trailing edges of various lengths are given. The experimental data were obtained for zero angle of attack and the numbers M=0.25–0.85 and Re=107–2.4·107 (calculated on the basis of the length of the body without the trailing section). The trailing-edge flow separation was visualized by the oil film method. It is shown that ribbing can lead to a decrease in drag due not only to a reduction in turbulent friction but also to reduction of the separation zone on the smooth trailing section of the body. |
