Experimental Measurement of Fluidic Thrust Vectoring on Internal and External Expansion Hypersonic Nozzles

Abstract

This interim Final Report presents the results of a 1-year project to design and demonstrate experimental methods to measure the performance of fluidic thrust vectoring on internal and external expansion hypersonic nozzles. A numerical study of both configurations is reported. Experimental measurements for the external expansion nozzle are also reported. The final phase of the project, repeating the experiments for the internal expansion nozzle, will be completed in early 2019.
