NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF PLUG NOZZLES BY THE METHOD OF CHARACTERISTICS

Abstract

This report describes the theory used to calculate supersonic flow in plug nozzles and the computer program based on this theory. Flow properties are calculated by the method of characteristics. Sauer's transonic theory is used to determine the starting line and Korst's technique is used to calculate the base pressure. (Author)
