Design, Analysis and Simulation of A Rocket Nozzle: Hamza Ashraf, Shuaib Salamat, Ali Sarosh

The document summarizes the design, analysis and simulation of a rocket nozzle. It proposes a high-fidelity computational solution for designing minimum length nozzles based on frozen-flow and equilibrium-flow conditions using the Method of Characteristics for a specific exit Mach number. A graphical user interface was also developed to compute key geometric and performance parameters for the minimum length nozzle design and can be used to design Percentage Rao and Conical nozzles as well. Computational fluid dynamics simulations demonstrated that the designed nozzle met the desired aerothermodynamic requirements for a minimum length nozzle design.

A high-fidelity computational solution for design of minimum length nozzles (MLN) is


proposed. The solution is based on frozen-flow and equilibrium-flow conditions. The
proposed solution is derived on the basis of Method of Characteristics (MoC) for a
specific exit Mach number of the nozzle. A user-friendly graphical user interface is also
developed to compute key geometric and performance parameters for the MLN design.
The program can be used to design the Percentage Rao and Conical nozzles as well.
The output for the code also includes a 2-D graphical plot of the nozzle geometry. The
computed geometrical parameters of the nozzle can be exported for Computational
Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation and analysis. CFD simulations show that the designed
nozzle was able to meet the aerothermodynamics requirements desired of a MLN
design.
