Estudo numérico de um bocal convergente-divergente em motor-foguete

Abstract

Convergent-Divergent nozzles are essential parts in rocket propulsion systems, a lot has been developed over the study of these nozzles, however, those studies are focused on large systems. The goal of this study was the development of a numeric study of these nozzles. A flow case was developed and validated using the OpenFOAM application, next, using this case, a small nozzle and various geometry changes were evaluated.
