Repeat Prob. 15–37, except remove the inviscid flow approximation. Instead, let the flow be turbulent, with smooth, no-slip walls. Compare your results to those of Prob. 15–37. What is the major effect of friction in this problem? Discuss.


Data from Problem 15-37.

Generate a computational domain to study compressible flow of air through a converging nozzle with atmospheric pressure at the nozzle exit (Fig. P15–37). The nozzle walls may be approximated as inviscid (zero shear stress). Run several cases with various values of inlet pressure. How much inlet pressure is required to choke the flow? What happens if the inlet pressure is higher than this value? Discuss.
