The model applies to rockets, introducing an enhancement attached to the body of a rocket which incorporates
the passage. It is essential that the enhancement has a larger cross section area as compared to the body of the
rocket so that the inlet section faces the fluid flow directly. The enhancement would generate more thrust than it
produces extra pressure drag. In addition it would also stabilize the motion of rocket by pacifying the eddies due
to flow separation. Passages of different cross sections can be introduced.
