A Summary of Jet Plume Effects on the Stability Characteristics of a Body of Revolution with Various Fin Configurations at Mach Numbers from 0.2 to 2.3 (Normal Jet Plume Simulator).

Abstract

This report summarizes the studies made to date by the Army Missile Command on the effects of the rocket jet plume on the Stability characteristics of a body of revolution with various fin configurations and at various fin positions on the body. The Mach numbers ranged from 0.2 to 2.3. A normal jet plume simulator was used to obtain the desired plume effects. This report concerns itself with those tests conducted on a 5-in. diameter, 52-in. long model, with a 3 caliber tangent ogive nose.
