Experimental studies are carried out to investigate the effects of the geometrical parameters with a drag reducing spike on a hemispherical forebody in a supersonic freestream of M = 2.0 at 0 deg angle of attack. The spike length ( l / D = 0.5 , 1.0, 1.5, 2.0), spike stem diameter ( d / D = 0.06 , 0.12, 0.18), and spike tip shapes are varied, and their influence on the time-averaged and time-resolved flowfield is examined. When l / D increases, a significant reduction in drag c d is achieved at l / D = 1.5 , whereas the variation in d / D has only a minor effect. The intensity of the shock-related unsteadiness is reduced with an increase in d / D from 0.06 to 0.18, whereas changes in l / D have a negligible effect. The effects of spike tip geometry are studied by replacing the sharp spike tip with a hemispherical one having three different base shapes (vertical base, circular base, and elliptical base). A hemispherical spike tip with a vertical base is performing better by reducing c d and flow unsteadiness. The dominant spatiotemporal mode arising due to the shock-related unsteadiness is represented through modal analysis of time-resolved shadowgraph images, and the findings are consistent with the other measurements.
