In supersonic nozzles, different flow patterns occur and their behavior is influenced by the geometries of the internal surfaces of the walls. In the present work, the over-expanded flow field is simulated in 2D in the experimental ULA-1B conical nozzle out of design, for two cases of throat lengths:Lg =15 mm and Lg= 1 mm; in order to analyze the field of Mach number, pressure and temperature. The ANSYS-Fluent code was used and the RANS model was applied; the governing equations: conservation of mass, momentum, energy, and state; as well as the Menter turbulence model and the Sutherland equation for the viscosity as a function of temperature. In the longest throat section, the results showed oblique shocks, speed, pressure and temperature fluctuations; for the shorter throat there were no fluctuations; for both cases, the flow in the divergent presented speed peaks in the range of 2,5 - 3 Mach. It is concluded that, for the shorter throat length, the flow accelerates without disturbances in said section; in the divergent there is a supersonic jet and flow separation.Downloads
