Abstract.

The objective of this paper is to assess the transient growth and the freeze-shut inside a cooled cylindrical nozzle subjected to laminar internal fluid flow. A simple analytical approximate solution is given for calculating the time dependent development of the thickness of the frozen crust at the cooled wall. It could be shown that, under certain conditions, the distribution of the thickness of the frozen layer changes not monotonously with the axial flow coordinate. If the convergence angle of the nozzle is set to zero, the present results are found to be in very good agreement with the calculations of Samson and Gibson [6].
