Alexander, does RPA do the full Rao method?
No, it does not.
For supersonic nozzle contour design, the program provides following
options:
– cone nozzle with a specified exit half-angle,
– parabolic nozzle contour with specified or automatically assessed
initial and/or exit half-angle(s),
– truncated ideal contour (TIC) with fixed expansion area ratio Ae/At
and nozzle length Le,
– TIC with maximum thrust at fixed expansion area ratio Ae/At,
– TIC with maximum thrust at fixed nozzle length Le.
Nozzle with TIC is designed using axisymmetric method of characteristics
(MOC).
