Abstract
The singularities of two-phase flows in Laval nozzles were investigated within the framework of the model of a two-fluid continuous medium [1, 2] mainly in a quasi-one-dimensional approximation ([3] and the bibliography therein). Two-dimensional computations of such flows were performed only recently by using the method of buildup [4–7]. However, systematic computations to clarify the influence of the second phase on such fundamental nozzle characteristics as the magnitude of the specific impulse, its losses, and discharge coefficient were performed only in the quasi-one-dimensional approximation [8, 9] and only for the supersonic parts of the nozzle in the two-dimensional approximation under the assumption of uniform flow in the throat [10, 3]. Such an investigation is performed in this paper in the two-dimensional case for the nozzle as a whole, including the sub-, trans-, and supersonic flow domains, and a comparative analysis is given of the magnitudes of the loss of a unit pulse obtained in the quasi-one-dimensional approximation [8].
