Description:
Subsonic wind tunnel tests were performed on solid and porous (22 percent) 5.0-caliber forebody models to assess the effect of free and fixed cross-flow separation on the effectiveness of passive porosity. The effectiveness of passive porosity to control the local pressure loading for forced cross-flow separation is found to be similar to that observed for the free cross-flow separation condition. It is also found that the effectiveness of passive porosity is significantly enhanced in the presence of large positive pressures on the porous surface.
