JET INTERFERENCE EXPERIMENTS EMPLOYING BODY-ALONE AND BODY-FIN CONFIGURATIONS AT SUPERSONIC SPEEDS
Abstract
An experimental investigation of the side-jet, supersonic stream interaction phenomena has shown that beneficial interaction forces can be obtained on a body of revolution with or without fins. The magnitude of the interaction forces obtained on a body of revolution with fins can exceed the jet static thrust, while the magnitude of the interaction forces obtained on a body of revolution without fins is uch less. This investigation has also shown that some of the important parameters governing the magnitude of the interaction force obtained on a body of revolution are fin-exposed semi-span, side-jet nozzle geometry, and side-jet nozzle location.
