Active control of base pressure in supersonic regime

This paper presents an experimental investigation to study the effectiveness of micro jets to control base pressure in suddenly expanded axi-symmetric ducts. Four micro jets of 1-mm orifice dia located at 90° intervals along a pitch circle dia of 1.3 times the nozzle exit dia in the base region are...
