                                                    Mesh specification Number of cells along the x direction (longer dimension) = 200 Number of cells along the y direction = 10 Use a graded mesh. Grading factor near all walls should be 0.     First the geometry has to be created.  So the apprapriate solver is choosed and geotmetry is created in the blockMeshDict…

                                                      Objective:

                                                       To simulate the isentropic flow through a quasi 1D subsonic-supersonic nozzle: subsonic-supersonic nozzle to be solved using two form.  They are conservation and non-conservation forms. Conservation form equation: ∂(ρ’A’)/ ∂t’ + ∂(ρ’A’v’)/ ∂x’…
