Body of Revolution Pressure Distribution

[macoovacany]

Hello,
Does anyone know how to derive the pressure distribution of a body of revolution given the geometric section properties. Kind of have the feeling that it is equivalent to the 2-D flow pressure distribution, if the thicknesses were sqrt'ed.

If you just want the drag I suggest you to use Heorner Drag or USAF DATCOM

Sorry, not after the drag. I'm after the pressure distribution.

The only way I have found the pressure distribution over a body of revolution other then a sphere was to use CFD. We just wrote codes in fortran to do this.
