    Abstract

    The effects of two important flow control techniques, i.e. jet control and dimples, on the aerodynamic characteristics and performance of a number of body configurations have been studied experimentally. The dimple studies have been carried out in a transonic-supersonic wind tunnel and the jet studies in a hypersonic gun tunnel at a Mach number of 8.2. Air was used as the working gas. The tests employed schlieren photography and oil-flow to study the overall flow field. Quantitative studies have been made by pressure measurements.
