Summary

This report contains the results of an experimental investigation to determine the effects of support interference on the base drag and fore drage of two bodies of revolution. The results show that the rear supports affect the drag of a body of revolution through the immediate influence on the pressures acting over the rear portions of the body and thus the magnitude of the interference depends on the afterbody shape of the model, the Reynolds number of flow, and the condition of the boundary layer.
