Abstract

This paper reports an effective design method for optimizing the geometric parameters of a micronozzle. Numerical analysis is conducted to predict the propulsion performance of micronozzles. By means of design of experiment (DOE), the number of numerical experiments is reduced dramatically from 1024 to 16. The interaction effects of the geometric parameters are taken into consideration for the first time. The results indicate that the interaction effects of geometric parameters cannot be neglected in choosing the optimal parameters for a practical design.
