Kármán–Moore theory

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. 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.
