Abstract

Abstract Effect of free boundary on the flow field characteristics of a single expansion nozzle has been studied experimentally and computationally. The single expansion nozzles studied in this investigation are a convergent-divergent nozzle of rectangular cross-section with convergent-divergent wall on one side and a flat wall on the opposite side, and an identical convergent-divergent ramp with its top open to atmosphere. The studies have been carried out at nozzle pressure ratios 2, 3, 4 and 5. The results show that the single expansion nozzle with wall boundary is able to deliver the flow with Mach number around 1.5, at nozzle pressure ratios of 4 and 5 even with the single expansion. The nozzle with free boundary, the wall static pressure is appreciably lower than that of nozzle with closed boundary and the exit Mach number is 1.5 for NPR 4 and 1.75 for NPR 5. That is, at the exit, the single expansion nozzle with free boundary delivers higher Mach number compared to single expansion nozzle with wall boundary for NPR 5.
