Method of Characteristics Design of a Supersonic Wind Tunnel Nozzle with Square

摘要

Nozzle design codes developed earlier were modified and used in order to design asupersonic wind tunnel nozzle with square cross-sections. As part of the design process, a post-processing code that generates square nozzles from the output of the Sivells code was written. The method is based on the results of an axisymmetric method of characteristics code and an axisymmetric boundary layer code. These design codes are documented.
