Abstract

The physics of the plume-induced shock and separation particulary at a high plume to exit pressure ratio and supersonic speeds up to Mach 3.0 with aid without a passive control method, porous extension, were studied using computational techniques. Mass-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the RNG k-$\varepsilon$ turbulence model were solved using a fully implicit finite volume scheme and a 4-stage Runge-Kutta method. The courol methodology for plume-afterbody interactions is to use a perforated wall attached at either the nozzle exit or the edge of the missile base. The Effect of porous wall length on plume interference is also investigated. The computational results show the main effect of the porous extension on plume-afterbody interactions is to in the plume from strongly underexpanding during a change in flight conditions. With control, a change in porous extension length has no significant effect on plume interference.
