Numerical performance of rhoCentralFoam, a compressible solver in OpenFOAM, was studied by modeling round supersonic free jets with varying nozzle exit conditions through Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes approach. To understand the behavior and accuracy of the solver, simulations were conducted at fo...
