Simulation of Swirling Wet Steam Flow through a Supersonic Nozzle

The subject matter of this paper is the swirling flow of wet steam through a supersonic nozzle. Various 2D nozzle designs were studied to find the best model to be used in this study. Multiple simulations were created using computational fluid dynamics and parameters were assigned to manage constrai...
