Identification of Important Design Zones of Bladeless Thruster

The primary aim of this work is to identify crucial design zones for a bladeless thruster with the help of computational fluid dynamics analysis and an adjoint-based solver. Identification of such zones is a fundamental step in the design process. The current research focuses on two-dimensional analysis to identify the key design zones. The simulation setup used for the study is also verified experimentally and from the work of other researchers, for a three-dimensional thruster model. As an avenue for further research, the effect of geometrical changes on these zones could be studied.
