Drag of Circular Cylinders for a Wide Range of Reynolds Numbers and Mach Numbers

Abstract

From Summary: "Pressure distributions around circular cylinders placed perpendicular to the stream for subsonic and supersonic flow conditions have been obtained. Drag coefficients calculated from these wind-tunnel tests and from transonic free-flight tests are presented. Drag data are presented for the Mach number range of 0.3 to 2.9."
