Abstract

Experiments on supersonic flows are typically conducted in wind tunnels with rectangular cross-sections, which use two-dimensional nozzles of two different types. A “full” setup consists of two contoured nozzle surfaces symmetric about the tunnel centre-height. The “half” configuration is also common, with a curved ceiling nozzle surface and a straight horizontal floor.
