Design and Development of Rukma Vimana Nozzle

Abstract

Rukma vimana is a part extraction from vimana Shastra. This project deals with nozzle system of ancient rukma vimana for vertical take-off systems. Nozzle design is very important to provide the necessary lift to the vimana. In the vimana Shastra a provision has been identified to create external heat supply to the streamed flow system in nozzle. In the present work external heat is applied to the nozzle section and to estimate the coefficient of lift. An attempt is being made to create CAD modelling and perform ANSYS fluent analysis to validate theoretical correlations. Keywords: Bumper, dynamic and modal analysis,
