Match each nozzle condition in List I with what appears at the lip in List II.

List I

A. Underexpanded

B. Overexpanded

C. Perfectly expanded

D. Severely overexpanded

List II

1. Oblique shocks

2. Expansion fans

3. Neither; the plume leaves cleanly

4. A shock moving inside the nozzle, separating the flow from the wall

Select the correct match.

  • A.A-2, B-1, C-3, D-4
  • B.A-1, B-2, C-3, D-4
  • C.A-2, B-3, C-1, D-4
  • D.A-4, B-1, C-3, D-2

Answer: A

The exit pressure relative to ambient settles which case applies. Too high and the gas keeps expanding through fans; too low and shocks recompress it; matched and the plume simply leaves. Severe overexpansion drives the shock inside, and the resulting separation and side loads are a real launch hazard.
