Characterisation of the flow regimes of arbitrary manoeuvre in absolute and relative frames

Abstract

This study concludes that: 1. the energy equation is expressed in terms of translations and rotational acceleration, 2. the generalised enthalpy equation is similarly expressed, 3. but the meaning of these is still to be explored, 4. dimensionless constants for momentum changes are re-derived, 5. but translational acceleration needs reconsideration in the light of numerical experiments, and rotational indications by Ro and Ek are that Taylor columns in rockets need consideration in terms of heat transfer, boundary conditions and compressibility.
