Nonetheless, most of the experimental measurements and numerical studies show a rise [39,45,51,60,61] or a constant regression rate along the axis [4]. Marxman's analysis statement would correspond to the first part of the curve, and the increase tendency observed by other researchers would agree with the end part, where fuel consumption starts to increase slightly.…”
