Space exploration and space tourism have now become a raging competition among the developed nations. For this reason, different types of advanced rocket nozzles with prospective privileges are introduced. Altitude adaptive dual bell nozzle will soon replace the conventional nozzles for the first stage rocket launcher. Indeed, this nozzle has auto adaption capability based on altitude. The major feature of a dual bell nozzle is the two bell-shaped contours separated by an inflection point. This nozzle has left rooms for researchers to test different flight conditions and transition characteristics. In this paper, a dual bell nozzle contour has been developed in MATLAB and analysed for different thermodynamic parameters. ANSYS Fluent is used in analysing flow through the nozzle. Shadowgraph imaging technique is used for measuring density gradient and compared it with fluent results. The simulations were performed by using the k-epsilon turbulence model.

Abstract The dual-bell nozzle is an altitude adaptive nozzle concept that offers two operation modes. In the framework of the German Research Foundation Special Research Field SFB TRR40, the last twelve years have been dedicated to study the dual-bell nozzle characteristics, both experimentally and numerically. The obtained understanding on nozzle contour and inflection design, transition behavior and transition prediction enabled various follow-ups like a wind tunnel study on the dual-bell wake flow, a shock generator study on a film cooled wall inflection or, in higher scale, the hot firing test of a thrust chamber featuring a film cooled dual-bell nozzle. A parametrical system study revealed the influence of the nozzle geometry on the flow behavior and the resulting launcher performance increase.
