DONBOL computer program analytically predicts axisymmetric nozzle afterbody pressure distributions and drag. Predictions are based on Neumann solution for inviscid external flow coupled with modified Reshotko-Tucker integral boundary layer technique, control volume method of Presz for calculating flow in separated region, and inviscid one dimensional solution for jet exhaust flow. Comparisons with experimental data indicate program accurately predicts pressure distributions of boattail afterbodies for which jet exhaust plume can be simulated by solid body. For other configurations, nozzle pressure drag seems to be significantly underpredicted. Method is limited to subsonic free stream mach numbers below those for which flow over body becomes sonic.
