CFD Analysis of De Laval Nozzle of a Hybrid Rocket Engine

Abstract

: The study gives a general overview of the CFD-simulated gas flow via the nozzle of a De Laval rocket engine. In CFD software, the mesh is generated using the nozzle’s geometry. In this work, CFD methods are used to compare a number of factors with those derived from classical theory, such as pressure, velocity, temperature, and arear ratios. The results of computational modelling of CFD simulation are comparable to those found from theoretical calculations.
