Abstract

This paper introduces a new physical model of the gas flow through the 2D nozzle with the tilted obstacle in exit section. Experimental research on the 2D full span model in the supersonic indraft tunnel, which includes over three hundred tunnel runs, are presented. Variable geometric parameters were: nozzle shadow area, obstacle-nozzle wall angle, obstacle-nozzle gap and nozzle area ratio. In its conclusion, the paper discusses results and presents some suggestions for the future research.
