Modeling Mach Number and Temperature Distributions in Supersonic Nozzle Flow

Pressure Variations in Rocket Nozzles. Part 3: Direct Calculation of the Local Mach Number

“…Higher-order terms may be readily extracted using symbolic programming of Eq. (10). At length, the subsonic solution to order Equation (15) compares quite well with the numerical solution.…”

“…In previous work by the authors, 10 the subsonic solution to Stodola's equation was pursued using regular perturbation theory. At present, we provide a simple alternative based on classical analysis, namely, by means of Bürmann's theorem.…”
