Transonic Flow Annular Nozzle Supersonic NozzleAn 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 includ- Flowfield static pressure measurements were obtained for four nozzle configurations including an axisymmetric, Laval nozzle and three annular ones. Half-section cylindrical models were constructed and mounted on a splitter plate whose surface corresponds to a plane of symmetry for the axisymmetric geometries under consideration. Readings from a grid of pressure taps arranged on the splitter plate allowed the determination of the static pressure fields in the nozzle throats. For all four cases tested, it was found that the agreement between the theoretical and experimental results is quite good through a significant region of the throat. Only near the bounding walls in the throat inlet region was there a noticeable discrepancy for some of the cases.
