A cross-section of this new geometry and contours of the solved flow properties
(velocity, pressure, temperature, and mass-flux density) are shown in Figure 3.12 and Figure
3.13. As shown, supersonic velocities create shockwaves (that are captured by the refined mesh),
and a sudden temperature drop of 130K (arc-heating is not yet considered). It is also observed
that maximum velocity occurs few millimeters downstream of the nozzle exit. This high velocity
region also accommodates local minima of pressure and temperature.
