Abstract
Results of zero-lift drag characteristics on two LCA-related afterbodies employing the jet simulation rig are reported . One of the afterbodies was an sxisymmetri.c configuration relevant to LCA Kaveri Engine and the other involved a three-dimensional boat-tailing concept leading to a square base;the annular base area to (max) forebody cross-sectional area was 0.23 for both afterbody configurations. The tests were made at freestream Mach numbers of 0 .80 and 0 .96 and covered a jet pressure ratio of 1.5 to 5.0 The results show that, while the total drag levels for the two afterbodies are comparable at MO.= 0.80, the drag of the square base afterbody is appreciably lower (about 20%) relative to the axisymmetric case at M=0.96 . Certain broad features of the flow on square base afterbodies are discussed as well.
