Investigation at Supersonic Speeds of the Variation with Reynolds Number and Mach Number of the Total, Base, and Skin-friction Drag of Seven Boattail Bodies of Revolution Designed for Minimum Wave Drag

Results are presented from an investigation of the variation with Reynolds number and Mach number of the total, base, and skin-friction drag of seven boattail bodies of revolution designed for minimum wave drag according to the theory of NACA-TN-2550. The tests covered a Reynolds number range from approximately 1.0 x 10(6) to 10.0 x 10(6) at Mach numbers of 1.62, 1.93, and 2.41 respectively

Investigation at supersonic speeds of the variation with Reynolds number and Mach number of the total, base, and skin-friction drag of seven boattail bodies of revolution designed for minimum wave drag

An investigation has been conducted in the Langley 9-inch supersonic tunnel to determine the effect of the variation with Reynolds number and Mach number of the total, base, and skin-friction drag at zero lift of seven boattail bodies of revolution designed for minimum wave drag according to NACA TN 2550. The tests covered a Reynolds number range from approximately 1.0 x 10(6) to 10.0 x 10(6) at Mach numbers of 1.62, 1.93, and 2.41, respectively. The results show that base drag and, in general, the total drag increase with increasing values of the ratio of base area to maximum area B/S(sub max), although the results reported in NACA TN 3054 showed that the wave drag decreased with increasing values of B/S(sub max). The laminar skin-friction drag is in agreement with the theoretical predictions used, and, within the Mach number range of these tests, the simple Blasius incompressible theory gives a satisfactory prediction. Except for values of B/S (sub max) near 1, the Reynolds number of transition increases with increasing Mach number and as this ratio approaches 1 this variation is seen to reverse. These variations in Reynolds number of transition with Mach number appear to be associated with the changes in pressure gradient over the rear of the bodies

Phantasmagorial Notes and a Grammar of Ghosts

In 1868, Lewis Carroll published a long poem about ghosts under the title "Phantasmagoria," which was also the title of the book in which his 755-line poem appeared. He revised the poem and included it in his book Rhyme? and Reason? published in 1883. This article traces the meaning of the word "phantasmagoria" back to the very late 18th-century Belgian illusionist and magic-lantern impresario, Etienne-Gaspard Robertson, explains how Carroll’s "Phantasmagoria" differs from Robertson’s Phantasmagorie and what it might tell us about Carroll’s belief in spirits, provides a grammar or explanation of the many kinds of ghosts who figure in Carroll’s poem (including kobold, banshee, kelpie, spectre, and many others), and finally lists the major textual differences [for example, lines and stanzas deleted, added, or changed] between the 1868 and 1883 versions of the poem
