Numerical Study of Nozzle Geometry and Back Pressure Effects on High-Pressure Waterjet Propulsion Systems
The performance of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) waterjet propulsion systems is highly dependent on nozzle geometry and environmental back pressure. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effects of nozzle length, length-to-diameter (l/d) ratio, and back pressure on thrust, velocity, flow coefficient, and hydr...
