Abstract

The article gives the results of an investigation of flows in supersonic axisymmetric conical nozzles with the presence of shock waves in the flow. The method of straight-through calculation [1] and the method of small perturbations [2] are used. An investigation is made of the effect of various geometric parameters and of the adiabatic index on the flow of a gas in conical nozzles. A comparison is made with experimental data.
