Abstract: | Supersonic three-dimensional flows of a gas in a nozzle are studied. The main attention is devoted to the study of lateral forces and moments resulting from asymmetric perturbations of the contour of an axisymmetric conical or profiled nozzle or due to asymmetric perturbations of the parameters at some section of the nozzle. The approach is comprehensive — through a finite-difference numerical method, the method of small perturbations, and experimentally.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 2, pp. 70–85, March–April, 1980. |
