Supersonic two-dimensional flow from a nozzle with the exit plane
inclined to the central axis of the nozzle will be turned if the exit
pressure of the nozzle is not matched to the external pressure. The
direction and magnitude of the flow deflection angle and the resulting
deflection force is a function of the exit pressure of the nozzle, the
exit Mach number and the amount the exit plane is inclined to the central
axis of the nozzle. A study of the deflection forces and deflection
angles generated for a Mach number range of 1.2 to 2.4 and for a wide
range of exit pressures is presented in this paper.
