Control of suddenly expanded flow for area ratio 3.61

Airflow from convergent axisymmetric nozzle expanded suddenly into circular duct of larger cross-sectional area than that of nozzle exit area were studied experimentally, focusing attention on the base pressure and the flow development in the duct. The flow parameters considered in this investigatio...
