Popis: Linearplugnozzleshavebeen receivingmoreattention sincethedevelopment ofthesinglestageto orbitreusable launch vehicle. To clarify the fundamental features of linear plug nozzle e ow, experiments have been performed with half models because the design of the plug nozzle is symmetric. Experimental and numerical results are presented to investigate the usefulness of a half model design. The experiments were conducted on a half model without external e ow and with an external e ow at a Mach number of M1 =2. The results have been used to validate computations using Navier ‐Stokes equations provided with a Baldwin ‐Lomax turbulence model and a Degani‐Schiff correction. For comparison computations were performed for a full model subjected to the same conditions. For all of these conditions, the effects of increasing or decreasing pressure ratio have been taken into account.
