Renewed interest in hypersonic airbreathing flight has resulted in heavy reliance on computational fluid dynamics for all aspects of aerodynamic and scramjet component modeling. Credible numerical performance predictions require calibration to unit type flowfields. This paper presents results of one such calibration to nonreacting simulated scramjet nozzle flowfields. The experimental test program was performed on a static thrust stand. Computed results are in excellent agreement with measured wall pressure, pitot pressure profiles, and thrust. Agreement with thrust is shown to be within the reported accuracy of the experimental measurements.
