Minimum Length Nozzle Design Tool

Outputs rectangular minimum length nozzles based on 2-D, inviscid method of characteristics.

You are now following this Submission

Defines geometry for a minimum length nozzle based on a design exit Mach number, specific gas constant, and a finite number of Mach waves. Code based on the information described in Anderson, Modern Compressible Flow 3rd Edition (Library of Congress CN: 2002067852). Note: the solution method assumes perfect gas behavior and thus is not valid for "high" Mach numbers.
