Base bleed is a technique whereby all or part of the boundary layer is 'bled' from the rear portion of a projectile to the base region. Passage from the model's surface to the base region is by means of concentric cylindrical passageways. The purpose of base bleed is to reduce the Magnus moment on overlong spinning bodies of revolution and to reduce the base drag. Both analytic and experimental results are presented. The boundary layer is represented by means of the momentum thickness.

The report reviews both theoretical and experimental investigations of the Magnus effect on arbitrary bodies of revolution. The main emphasis is on spinning projectiles at angle of attack, both with and without fins. Flow visualization measurements are used to assess the accuracy of the existing theories. Laminar, turbulent, and mixed boundary layers are considered. (Author).
