The study of a jet impinging on a finite
disc has applications in separating the stages of
a multi-stage rocket during its flight. For
example, the jet plume of the upper stage impinges
and therefore induces a pressure field on the
upper surface of the lower stage. A knowledge of
this pressure field is vital in determining the
trajectory of the lower stage after
separation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
