An. Mikhalev et al., Interferometric study of an elongated element model with axisymmetric streamlining for two Mach numbers (M=3 and 4), TECH PHYS L, 27(2), 2001, pp. 124-126
The streamlining density fields for elongated models of explosion-formed pr
ojectiles were studied by the interference method. The character of the den
sity profiles and their variation upon increasing the Mach number from M =
3 to 4 are considered. The analysis reveals some special features in the st
abilization shock wave formation. It is shown that the proposed model shape
is admissible from the standpoint of moderate aerodynamic resistance and s
ufficiently high stability. (C) 2001 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
