Experimental and Analytical Investigation of Axisymmetric Supersonic Cruise Nozzle Geometry at Mach Numbers from 0.60 to 1.30

摘要

Quantitative pressure and force data for five axisymmetric boattail nozzle configurations were examined. These configurations simulate the variable-geometry feature of a single nozzle design operating over a range of engine operating conditions. Five nozzles were tested in the Langley 16-Foot Transonic Tunnel at Mach numbers from 0.60 to 1.30. The experimental data were also compared with theoretical predictions.
