Supersonic Nozzle Design
Abstract
The theory of supersonic flow in nozzles is discussed, emphasis being placed on the physical rather than the mathematical point of view. Methods, both graphic and analytic, for designing nozzles are described together with a discussion of design factors. In addition, the analysis of given nozzle shapes to determine velocity distribution and possible existence of shock waves is considered. A description of a supersonic protractor is included in conjunction with a discussion of its application to nozzle analysis and design. The correction of nozzle contours for boundary layer and other errors is also discussed.
