This chapter contains methods and procedures for determining plume induced based flowfields and heating environments. State-of-the-art techniques for determining base flow conditions are presented for missiles and launch vehicles with a single propulsive engine as well as a variety of multiple base configurations. The methodology spans the complete spectrum of external flow conditions from the launch phase through powered flight at supersonic and hypersonic conditions, and includes plume backflow impingement from motors operated at near vacuum conditions. Propulsion engines utilizing liquid and solid propellants are considered. (Author)
