Abstract :
In the present work, Optimization of CD nozzle for Inlet,
Outlet and Length is is carried out with the help of
commercial software-FLUENT.
Its Grid/Mesh is Created on Another Software named GAMBIT.
Computational analysis of standard 2-D C-D nozzle is carried
out for different flow conditions i.e. Inviscid, Laminar and
Turbulent.
Furthermore, Qualitative and Quantitative analysis
carried out with Validation to analytical solution.

are

Introduction :
Anozzleis a device designed to control
the direction or characteristics of afluid
flow as it exits (or enters) an enclosed
chamber.
The Function of the nozzle is to reduce the
pressure and increase the velocity.
Nozzle is used for different purposed like
Part cleaning, Chip removal, Part drying,
Material conveying ,Part ejection, For
rocket to provide sufficient thrust to move
upwards ,and in Aeronautical applications.
Key Words:
(Convergent-Divergent
Nozzle,
Computational
Fluid Dynamics, Velocity
Profile, Laminar, Turbulent)

Optimizing Parallel CFD

Simulations of 2-D
Compressible Flows.

The focus of this study was to reduce

execution time for a CFD application
by reducing MPI communication time.

CFD Study of 2D Model of

Diffuser for Harnessing Tidal
Energy.

The main focus of this study is to gain

confidence for simulating the velocity
profile of flow inside the diffuser.

A gas jet superposition

model for CFD modelling of
group-hole nozzle sprays.

The results show that spray tip

penetration decreases as the group
hole diverging or converging angle
increases.

M.Damodaran.

Design of ThreeDimensional Nozzle Shape

using NURBS, CFD and
Hybrid Optimization
Strategies.

The objective functions are estimated

by numerically solving the 3D
Euler/Navies-Stokes equations with a
low-upper symmetric Gauss-Seidel
implicit scheme to enhance the
convergence.

Computational Analysis of
Shockwave in Convergent
Divergent Nozzle.

The results indicate increase in the

static pressure, density and the static
temperature across the shock. Mach
number decrease across the shock.

Experimental and
Computational Investigation
of Multiple Injection Ports in
a CONVERGENT-DIVERGENT
NOZZLE for Fluidic Thrust
Vectoring.

The results indicates ports was

conceived to enhance the thrust
vectoring capability of a CD nozzle
over that of a single injection port
without increasing the secondary
mass flow rate requirements.

Any fluid flow and can be analysed

very easily with this software's for
those Products (whose velocity is
more than the velocity of sound) like
Aircrafts.
