An Approach to Experimental Investigation of Jet Plume Effects on Missile Aerodynamics

Abstract

An approach to modeling a rocket's plume effects based on the theory of Korst is presented. To implement the modeling scheme an interactive Fortran program was developed which designs model nozzles that produce geometrically simular plumes with simular base flow characteristics as prototype nozzles but use are or some other medium instead of a propellant. Included are the modeling theory, experimental results and the Fortran program with a sample case.
