  Effect of Blunt Truncation in an Aerospike Nozzle

  By Vijai Raaj K R, Yukesh Kanna M, Maheshwaran C, Mohamed Zameer M S

  Abstract: Aerospike nozzles are gaining attention as a more advanced alternative to conventional bell nozzles, mainly because they can perform efficiently across a wide range of altitude conditions. Unlike traditional converging–diverging nozzles, aerospike designs naturally adjust to changes in ambient pressure, allowing the exhaust flow to expand more effectively. This results in better thrust performance under varying operating conditions, making them a strong candidate for future aerospace propulsion systems. In this …
