Abstract

A transverse side jet in a supersonic crossflow causes a significant region of separated flow in its vicinity. This separation alters the effectiveness of the jet in producing control forces and moments. In this study, numerical simulations are carried out in order to estimate this change in effectiveness. The effect of a number of parameters such as the angle of attack, angle of yaw, jet pressure ratio, injection Mach number, and presence or absence of a flare aft of the injection are studied. For the geometry considered, it is seen that the effectiveness is enhanced significantly as the angle of attack, angle of yaw, or the jet pressure ratio are increased. The jet injection Mach number does not have a significant effect as long as the jet pressure ratio and jet mass flow rate are unchanged.
