Abstract: | The problem of designing the supersonic part of nozzles creating source type flows self-similar with respect to the isentropic exponent is solved. A function that approximates the geometry of nozzle channels with cone angles up to 15° is derived. The results of solving the direct nozzle problem, which confirm the accuracy of the approximation obtained, are presented.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 183–186, July–August, 1989.The authors are grateful to A. N. Ganzhelo for supplying the supersonic flow calculation programs. |
