[QUOTE="MAX, post: 32191, member: 184"] Subject is transonic "turbulence", question: Is it? I've tossed this around a few times, once here some time back. I understand that drag goes way up in this range(M0.75-M1.3), just wondering if there is particicular turbulence associated in the flow field as well. Aircraft operate in the lower range(M.75-.97) routinely with no observable buffeting although I understand that the transition at Mach 1 has some bumps. I am also aware that aircraft NOT designed for flight in the range are subject to buffeting as they approach Mach 1. In regards to bullets, I've not seen any literature that addresses this directly, and have seen nothing that really indicates turbulence in the spark shadowgraphs I've seen of projectiles in this speed range. Any thoughts or references appreciated. Another minor question: Anybody know who the author(HTL) is at this site?[url="http://www.mindspring.com/~ulfhere/ballistics/wounding.html"]web page[/url] [ 03-04-2004: Message edited by: MAX ] [/QUOTE]
