Summary

The basic physical idea underlying the theories based on the flow model of CHAPMAN and KORST is that the base pressure can be predicted if the pressure at the reattachment point is known. In the new theory of TANNER the fundamental idea is the connection between the drag of the body and the entropy increase in the flow. This paper presents the essence of both theories together with theoretical and experimental results.
