In this paper, we discuss progress made in extending specialized missile plume codes to analyze more generalized problems entailing varied missile propulsive flow field phenomena. Problems of interest include those of fuel venting and plume contrail formation. To analyze such processes, gas/liquid modeling is being incorporated that includes primary and secondary breakup, and vaporization/condensation physics. This is being performed at an engineering level and overall progress in extending plume codes to analyze these processes will be described. Exemplary problems described include those of both gaseous and liquid fuel venting, application of unified secondary breakup and vaporization of a liquid fuel venting problem, and, contrail formation in a generic missile plume.
