Mechanisms Controlling Non-Steady Plume-Wall Interactions in Rocket Launch-Tubes (Gas, Fluid Dynamics, Rocket Systems, Base Flows, Supersonic Flows)

Abstract

dc:description

The mechanisms controlling the interactions between base flow induced irreversibilities with downstream effective critical flow conditions within rocket launch tubes due to friction and/or cross-sectional obstruction are studied here in detail. The analytical treatment by the flow component approach using one- and two-dimensional techniques is corroborated by a comprehensive experimental program.
