What is a C-D nozzle?
It is a device used to convert the sub sonic flow to a super sonic flow.
The need for one is because combustion takes place at only sub sonic conditions.
The converging section is essentially a frustum of a cone
Whose height is about 0.25 to 0.16 times the diverging section length
The design of the divergent section is critical due to the following reasons• The flow should accelerate to super sonic conditions• The flow should be shock free• The flow should achieve the required Mach number
The method uses a time and position dependent PDE.
The coefficient of the position derivative determines whether the PDE is:• Hyperbolic PDE• Parabolic PDE• Elliptical PDE
Method of Characteristics
Methodology
The nozzle is of minimum length.The points of intersection are considered shock pointsThe boundary points are obtained by an iterative process of averaging slopes

The code was first generated for a rectangular cross section, which expands in one directionThen modifications were made for them to generate a circular profile with expansion in two directions.
