Plume Interference Effects on Missile Bodies

摘要

The conclusions from these analyses are as follows: Several features of plume flow and its interference effects on aft-mounted control surfaces can be clearly identified by CFD analysis. Plume pressure ratio has a significant effect on the plume in reference. For a given plume pressure ratio, an increase in Mach number resulted in an increase in shock strength and rearward motion of the shock on the tail fin.
