An Investigation for Modeling Jet Plume Effects on Missile Aerodynamics.

Abstract

Results of an investigation of concepts for modeling jet plume effects on missile aerodynamics tend to confirm the concepts proposed by Korst. Comparisons were made of afterbody pressure distributions influenced by plumes of the same shape but with different plume Mach numbers and with a solid plume. These comparisons indicate that increasing effect becoming more pronounced with increasing freestream Mach number. The solid plume has the greatest effect on afterbody pressures with the effect increasing considerably at Mach numbers of 1.25 and higher. (Author)
