Abstract

This paper presents an impressive design of a convergent divergent (C-D) nozzle using the method of characteristics for a Mach number 2 test section. The nozzle’s geometry was meticulously crafted in SolidWorks, and its performance was evaluated through a CFD simulation in Ansys Fluent R22 software. Results showed excellent agreement between the simulation and analytical data, with the Mach number ranging from 1.78 to 2. The study also compared turbulence modeling techniques, concluding that the k-omega model produced superior results. The supersonic wind tunnel achieved remarkable efficiency, completing a run at 1.8 Mach number in just 6 seconds. Overall, the study showcased exceptional accuracy and meticulousness.
