AT Medusa nozzle #143

Open benrussell11 opened 4 years ago

benrussell11 commented 4 years ago

Given we don't currently support a multi port nozzle such as the AT medusa nozzle.

To use the nozzle in a simulation, how do I configure the nozzle? ie what do I use for throat diameter, exit diameter etc?

Adding medusa nozzle support is a good idea. I'm sure this wouldn't be a 100% accurate way to model them, but you can probably get 97% of the way there by adding up the areas of the throats and then finding the diameter of a circle with that area and using that for the throat. You could do the same for the exit diameters too.
