Experimental characterisaion analytical modelling of rocket nozzle side-loads

During sea-level transients, such as engine start-up or shut-down, ramping chamber pressure causes the nozzle exit pressure to fall below ambient conditions, resulting in flow over-expansion. Internal shockwaves form that incite unsteady boundary layer separation producing an asymmetric internal pre...
