Comparison of numerical predictions of the supersonic expansion inside micronozzles of micro–resistojets

The present work provides a numerical investigation of the supersonic flow inside a planar micronozzle configuration under different gas rarefaction conditions. Two different propellants have been considered, namely water vapor and nitrogen, which relate to their use in VLMs (the former) and cold ga...
