In this video, I want to try and convince you that supersonic nozzles aren't some magical, counterintuitive device that can only be explained by mathematics.
I've done my best to provide what I think is a good intuitive explanation. It does require a basic knowledge of normal shocks and oblique shocks, but hey, I didn't say it was easy!
In any case, I briefly discuss shocks as well.
Enjoy!
