Effectiveness of micro-jets at different level of expansion

An experimental investigation was conducted to study the effectiveness of micro jets to control base pressure in suddenly expanded axi-symmetric duct. Since active control is used to control the base pressure and hence the base drag the air is drawn from the main settling chamber to the control cham...
