Aerodynamic design of nozzles with uniform outflow for hypervelocity ground-test facilities

A method is proposed for the aerodynamic design of nozzles with uniform outflow for supersonic and hypersonic ground-test facilities. This method involves the coupling of an open-source Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes computational fluid dynamics solver, Eilmer, with the simplex optimization method...
