Abstract: In the present paper, we have focused on the phenomena occurring in the supersonic part of the de Laval nozzle, characterised by oscillation of the shock wave in steam flow. The effect of shock oscillation was observed by using the Töpler optical system in the IMP PAN experiment carried out on a symmetrical planar de Laval nozzle. Having observed the shock fluctuation in wet steam flow, according to Puzyrewski's observations, we analysed the oscillation frequency in the IMP PAN nozzle depending on the pressure conditions. Additionally, we analysed the evaporation level of condensate droplets during passage through the Mach disc depending on the inlet conditions. The model of a single continuum wet steam model with a special microstructure growing up during phase transitions was validated on an experiment carried out by Dykas et al. in 2013 on the half arc nozzle. The present work includes simulations results of oscillation frequency of the shock wave and the evaporation level of the liquid phase on the Mach disc.
