Ai. Glagolev et al., THE EFFECT OF HEAT AND MASS ADDITION ON THE BASE-PRESSURE OF BODIES OF REVOLUTION AT SUPERSONIC SPEEDS, Combustion, explosion, and shock waves, 32(3), 1996, pp. 331-335
The results of an experimental investigation of the influence of mass
addition and afterburning of combustion products of pyrotechnic mixtur
es in the base region of axisymmetric bodies in supersonic air flow at
Mach numbers of 1.2-3.0 are reported. It is shown that the base-press
ure increment increases monotonically to a maximum value with an optim
um injected-mass flow rate. The value of the's increment reduces as th
e Mach number decreases. A dependence generalising the experimental da
ta is presented.
