CONTROL OF FLOW PAST A BODY OF REVOLUTION, MINIMIZING THE BODY'S DRAG IN A VISCOUS FLUID
S. M. Aul'chenko UDC 532.533 The problem of determination of the parameters and shape of a running wave on the surface of a body of revolution, which minimize the body's drag, has been solved. The physical effects occurring in such a control have been analyzed.
