Kármán–Moore theory
Supersonic flow past a slender body / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kármán–Moore theory is a linearized theory for supersonic flows over a slender body, named after Theodore von Kármán and Norton B. Moore, who developed the theory in 1932.[1][2] The theory in particular, provides an explicit formula for the wave drag, which converts the kinetic energy of the moving body into outgoing sound waves behind the body.[3]
