Abstract

The role of the flow visualization in providing the necessary insight for the development of theoretical models of complex afterbody and base flows is described. Methods of calculating the turbulent base pressure for axisymmetric configurations are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the treatment of supersonic flows for cylindrical, boattail, and flare bodies as well as sharp and blunt cones and base flow nozzles. The guidance provided by flow visualization in the development of theoretical models for the transonic case is also discussed. The current interests in applying finite difference techniques to these-problems indicate that the extensive use of flow visualization data will continue.
