Modeling and analysis of convergent divergent nozzle with sudden expansion duct using finite element method

n most of the engineering problems, the sudden expansion at the base is encountered in automobile industries, at the base of the fuselage of the aircraft, at the base of the artillery shells, at the base of the unguided rockets and missiles. At transonic Mach numbers, the contribution of the base d...

Modeling and analysis of convergent divergent nozzle with sudden expansion duct using finite element method
description n most of the engineering problems, the sudden expansion at the base is encountered in automobile industries, at the base of the fuselage of the aircraft, at the base of the artillery shells, at the base of the unguided rockets and missiles.
