It has long been known that the pressure at the base of highspeed projectiles is lower than the ambient pressure. Since experimental work on projectiles has indicated that the boundar} layer definitely affects the base pressure, it was decided to investigate the effect of the boundary layer on the similar phenomena occurring in internal sonic or supersonic flow through a sudden enlargement of cross section.
