Design of a Rocket Nozzle's Divergent Section by means of a Bézier Curve Approximation
A methodology for designing a rocket nozzle's divergent (bell) section using a quadratic Bézier curve instead of a pure algebraic parabola. The article shows that a true algebraic parabola doesn't satisfy the geometric requirements of the standard design method — and corrects a design error from the author's own undergraduate thesis.
