Quasi-one-dimensional gas/particle nozzle flows with shock

A time-dependent method is applied to the solution of the fully coupled gas/particle, quasi-one-dimensional flow within nozzles. This time-dependent method is noted to yield good resolution over the entire flow region, despite its inclusion of subsonic, transonic, and supersonic flow regimes, including shock phenomena. The results obtained show that the complexity of the sock pattern is dependent on loading ratio and particle diameter, and that the strength of the shock is strongly influenced by the presence of the particles.
