Rocket exhaust impingement on a ground surface
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 March 2006
Abstract
The impingement of a rocket jet, exhausting into a vacuum, onto a solid surface is examined using the Newtonian approximation to analyse the transonic region. The jet exhaust into an unbounded vacuum required for this analysis is simplified as a quasi-radial flow using an exact calculation as a basis. Two examples are calculated giving the shock detachment distance and the ground pressures as a function of the rocket altitude.
