surface streamline patterns on three bodies of revolution, namely a spheroid, a low-drag body and a hemisphere-hemispheroid combination body, have been examined at several angles of attack. most of the tests were performed at low reynolds numbers in a hydraulic flume using colored dye to make the surface flow visible. a limited number of experiments was also carried out in a wind tunnel, using wool tufts, to study the influence of reynolds number and turbulent separation. the study has verified some of the important qualitative features of three-dimensional separation criteria proposed earlier by maskell, lighthill, wang and others. the observed locations of laminar separation lines on a spheroid at various incidences have been compared with the numerical boundary-layer solutions of wang, and it is suggested that the quantitative differences may be attributed to the significant viscous-inviscid interaction, especially at large incidences.
