...Ashish Narayan; Subodh Kumar; Nitish Kumar Gautam; Prasanna Phatate; Ritesh Kumar Purpose The paper, titled “Supersonic Flow Over Different Nose Cone Designs to Reduce Aerodynamic Characteristics: A Comparative Study,” aims to investigate the impact of various nose cone shapes on aerodynamic...

... Computational fluid dynamics Supersonic flow Decay characteristics Rectangular nozzle Supersonic core length The study used a scaled laboratory model featuring a convergent–divergent (C–D) nozzle with a rectangular cross-section having an AR of 2. Figure 1(a) shows the geometrical details...

...Kathiravan Balusamy; Vinothraj A.; Suresh V. Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of aerospike and hemispherical aerodisks on flow characteristics and drag reduction in supersonic flow over a blunt body. Specifically, the study aims to analyze the impact of varying...

... be used to reasonably estimate the thrust-vector deflection, thrust and total pressure loss. A schematic of the flow field inside the divergent section of the CD nozzle of a rocket vehicle with an internal strut is shown in Figure 1 . On the strut side wall (SSW), the strut encounters supersonic flow...
