The flows about elongated bodies are discussed in the context of simulation and scaling. With that as a point of departure, the present discussion is confined to the practice of tripping laminar boundary layers at locations on models selected with the goals of simulating higher Reynolds numbers. Possible flow phenomena and the effects of Reynolds numbers are reviewed. It is suggested that many of the strategies developed mainly in testing airfoils and wing models may also be appropriate when missile and fuselage shapes are involved.
