A Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of Transonic Flow in the Throat Region of Annular Axisymmetric, Supersonic Nozzles.

Abstract

An integrated theoretical and experimental investigation of flow in the throat region of unconventional, annular, supersonic nozzles was conducted. The theoretical analysis consists of the formulation and development of an approximate series expansion solution to the inviscid, irrotational governing equations. The resulting solution provides a direct means of analyzing the throat flowfields in a variety of two-dimensional nozzle configurations including axisymmetric, annular, and planar nozzles. A major advantage of the solution is the speed and reliability of its numerical implementation, making feasible parametric studies and iterative calculations.
