ABSTRACT

Computational fluid dynamics is a branch of fluid mechanics that deals with problems related to fluid flow and solves numerical methods and algorithms. Computational methods are used to perform the simulation to observe the interaction of fluids with the surface defined by boundary conditions. The objective of the current study is to determine the variation of the flow parameters like density, velocity, pressure, and temperature. The boundary conditions were specified according to available experimental information. The shockwave simulation was also performed using CFD. The design of the convergent-divergent nozzle is done by using Solid works and the CFD analysis is performed using Ansys workbench.
