A parametric, 3-D Euler, CFD study was performed on a hypersonic vehicle engine nozzle. The configuration analyzed, though generic, is representative of those being considered for current generation vehicles. A series of flow profiles ranging from completely uniform to highly distorted were developed and introduced at the inflow plane of the nozzle in an effort to understand the associated impact on nozzle performance. Nozzle performance is quantified for each case and a qualitative rationale for the performance impact is developed.
