The velocity field in the base region of a circular cylinder with a length-to-radius ratio of 3.0 aligned at a 10-deg angle of attack to a nominal Mach 2.5 freestream has been investigated experimentally. The objective is to better understand the mechanisms that govern the characteristics and development of three-dimensional, compressible base flows. Laser Doppler velocimetry was used to measure both mean velocity components and turbulence statistics
