Introduction

Truncated nozzle designed for PR=1030 with 87.72in length. Unstructured grids with 1,80,000 cells. No inflation at wall boundaries. RNG K-e turbulence model is used with enhanced wall treatment. Investigated and compared for two cases
Chen Nozzle contour(from coordinates) MOC contour for same design conditions.

Investigated for two cases (BC at edges):

Pressure Far-field Pressure-outlet

Chen geometry@5bar-PF
Converged Net mass flow rate =0.8190kg/s Qualitatively acceptable

Chen geometry@10bar-PF
Issues Absolute pressure limited to 1e0 Pa Temp. limited to 1e0k Incorrect Physical results

K-e chen@5bar-PO
Reversed flow is observed.

MOC@5bar-PF
Issues Absolute pressure limited to 1e0 Pa Temp. limited to 1e0k Incorrect Physical results Time step reduced due to excessive temp changes

MOC@5bar-PO
Qualitatively acceptible Observed for only 5000 iterations. Residuals are observed to be still decreasing. Net mdot = -499.323kg/s.(PO)

MOC@15bar-PO
Reversed flow is observed at PO boundaries. Net mdot =-623.11kg/s Residuals-almost constant

MOC@25bar-PO
Reversed flow is observed at PO boundaries. Net mdot =-1750.1653kg/s Residuals-almost constant Still iterations has to be done
