Active control of suddenly expanded flow

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation carried out to control the base pressure in a suddenly expanded axi-symmetric passage. An active control in the form of microjets was employed to control the base pressure. Microjets at four locations in a pitch circle diameter at...
