Abstract:Base bleed, along with boattailing, is widely confirmed to be an efficient technique for drag reduction of projectiles. It is believed that the flow pattern at the projectile base, hence the level of drag reduction, is dependent on the base-bleed exit configuration design. It was also shown that bleeding from annular slots overperformed that from a single central orifice. However, central orifices are required for practical issues and may not be completely eliminated. The effect of simultaneous bleeding from t… Show more
