The Sears–Haack body is the shape with the lowest theoretical wave drag in supersonic flow, for a given body length and given volume. The mathematical derivation assumes small-disturbance (linearized) supersonic flow, which is governed by the Prandtl-Glauert equation. The derivation and shape were published independently by two separate researchers: Wolfgang Haack in 1941 and later by William Sears in 1947.〔 〕 The theory indicates that the wave drag scales as the square of the second derivative of the area distribution, (see full expression below), so for low wave drag it's necessary that be smooth. Thus, the Sears–Haack body is pointed at each end and grows smoothly to a maximum and then decreases smoothly toward the second point. ==Useful Formulas== The cross sectional area of a Sears–Haack Body is: : The volume of a Sears–Haack Body is: : The radius of a Sears–Haack Body is: : The derivative (slope) is: : The second derivative is: : where: ''x'' is the ratio of the distance from the nose to the whole body length. This is always between 0 and 1. ''r'' is the local radius is the radius at its maximum (occurs at center of the shape) ''V'' is the volume ''L'' is the length is the density of the fluid ''U'' is the velocity From Slender-body theory: : alternatively: : These formulas may be combined to get the following: : : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sears–Haack body」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
