CFD verifies new AEDC Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel 9 nozzle design
The new Mach 18 nozzle design at the AEDC Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel 9 at the AEDC site in White Oak, Maryland, near Silver Spring, has been successfully verified using computational fluid dynamic (CFD) codes. This image shows computed contours of Mach number within the new Mach 18 nozzle design. (AEDC image)
