Abstract: | The problem of profiling a supersonic nozzle with uniform outlet flow is considered when the contour is constructed from a point on a given convergent section of the nozzle. It is shown that there are contours such that the flow in the throat is supersonic in choked regimes (as distinct from common notions of mixed or uniform sonic flow). The influence of flow nonuniformity in the throat region on the thrust of a supersonic nozzle is analyzed.Moscow.
