This study focuses on the numerical analysis of the interaction between the exit flows of two supersonic nozzles, using the distance between their longitudinal axes as a parameter. The analysis is conducted in OpenFOAM, assuming two-dimensional, inviscid flow. The methodology employed to simulate flow in a nozzle is validated against experimental data and is subsequently used to investigate the interaction with a second nozzle. The numerical results indicate that discharge flows interfere, even from distant nozzles.
