<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">The objective of this paper is to identify the optimum supersonic Mach number for
expansion–deflection dual-bell nozzle. The numerical analysis is carried for
expansion–deflection dual-bell nozzle (EDDBN) with different free stream
conditions. Numerical study observes that the transition pressure ratio and Mach
contours are studied through inside and outside of the nozzle. The results
proved that increasing the Mach number leads to decrease in the static pressure
as well as reduce the performance of EDDBN nozzle. The analysis was carried out
for four different Mach number, out of which Mach number 1.2 provides the
optimum results. In the present study, the influence of Mach number behavior
affects the pressure and Mach configuration inside and outside of the EDDBN
nozzle. This novel concept is used in supersonic vehicles for higher
performances. Also, it provides a way to improve the existing nozzle design
configuration.</div></div>
