Passive control of base pressure with static cylinder at supersonic flow

An experimental investigation for over expanded, perfectly expanded and under expanded supersonic jets is presented to study the effectiveness of a static cylinder to reduce base drag at Mach 2 through a converging diverging nozzle for a cross-sectional duct nozzle area ratio of 9. A static cylinder...

A static cylinder of 2 mm diameter at 2 mm from the side wall of a square duct and 8 mm from the square nozzle exit in the base region is installed as a passive control device. Base pressures in the wake flow after sudden expansion of jets in to a square nozzle have been measured. The length width ratio of the duct is 10.
