Constant CROSSFLOW_DRAG

Expand description

A circular cylinder’s crossflow drag coefficient C_dn at CROSSFLOW_DRAG_MACHS, below the critical crossflow Reynolds number: NASA TR R-474, Fig. 1 (printed p. 75), read by hand to about ±0.01. To 0.2, the “C_dn = 1.2” of p. 15; to 0.5, the curve through Lindsey’s points; from 0.6 to 1.2, the filled points extrapolated from the Ames 2’ × 2’ tunnel; from 1.4, the curve through the supersonic experiments. Held past 4.8.
