Key issues:

• Design supersonic nozzles used for missile and rocket propulsion.
• Simulate to ensure experimental test is possible.
• Determine control philosophies required to operate the experimental set up successfully.
• Investment Protection.
• Reduce commissioning times of experimental test facility.

Methodology:

• Simulate Air tank blow down scenarios.
• Optimise equipment in soft model.
• Tune control philosophies before implementation.

Solution:

• Using Flownex it was possible to fully understand the experimental setup, this ensures investment protection and reduce commissioning times of experimental test facility.
