4 Types of nozzle geometry. Use 1 or 0 to see the velocity, use 2 to see the presure. Interestingly they even have mach diamonds.

u can see some of the compression and expansion of the plume using 3 tho

yes, quite disgusting tbh... the particle never "expands" like what a gas is supposed to do under high pressure, otherwise it will be much more fun.

Flow separation is inevitable

despite that, no matter what is the simulation logic of tpt, on a macro scale, the events and phenomenons match up, which is a good thing to see.

idk how air/pressure simulation work in tpt, but if you turn on pressure view you can see something that looks somewhat similar to mach diamond.

does supersonic flow even exist in TPT?

Update 2: Replaced short nozzle variant to aerospike, also moved the entire thing down a few pixles as appearantly it makes the pressure simulation more stable...

Update 1: Changed nozzle to not block pressure, making it more realistic.
