Nozzles having variable geometry are disclosed that are comprised of a plurality of vanes that contact one another and can slide with respect to one another. A control element forces the vanes to slide, with contacting sides of the vanes defining an inner flow path through which a fluid may pass. The vanes may be self-similar or different from one another to define the desired geometries of the opening in the nozzles. The vanes may be configured to provide convergent, divergent and convergent-divergent nozzles for a range of applications.

The invention claimed is: 1. A variable geometry nozzle configured to regulate flow of a fluid, the nozzle comprising: a plurality of vanes disposed adjacent to and in contact with one another, each vane having first and second contact sides, the first contact side of each vane in sliding contact with the second contact side of an adjacent vane, the vanes defining a skew angle from a front side of the nozzle towards a rear side thereof, wherein the vanes are movable in sliding contact on one another along their entire length for altering the geometry of a flow path through the nozzle, and wherein the skew angle remains substantially constant when the nozzle is moved from a closed position to an opened position. 2. The nozzle of claim 1, wherein the vanes are self-similar. 3. The nozzle of claim 1, wherein the vanes are configured and disposed in the nozzle to form a convergent flow path. 4. The nozzle of claim 1, wherein sliding of the vanes defines parallel lines of overlap of respective first and second contact sides of adjacent vanes. 5. The nozzle of claim 4, wherein the overlap between the vanes provides a seal along the entire length of the nozzle. 6. The nozzle of claim 1, wherein the vanes are configured and disposed to permit complete closing of a flow path through the nozzle. 7. The nozzle of claim 1, comprising at least 8 vanes. 8. The nozzle of claim 1, further comprising at least one control element in contact with the vanes to force the vanes to slide with respect to one another to alter the geometry of the flow path through the nozzle. 9. The nozzle of claim 8, wherein the at least one control element includes an outer control ring. 10. The nozzle of claim 8, wherein the at least one control element includes an inner control ring. 11. A variable geometry nozzle configured to regulate flow of a fluid, the nozzle comprising: a plurality of vanes disposed adjacent to and in contact with one another, each vane having first and second contact sides, the first contact side of each vane in sliding contact with the second contact side of an adjacent vane, the vanes defining a skew angle from a front side of the nozzle towards a rear side thereof, wherein the vanes are and movable in sliding contact on one another along their entire length for altering the geometry of a flow path through the nozzle, and wherein the skew angle remains substantially constant when the nozzle is moved from a closed position to an opened; and a control device configured to contact the vanes to urge sliding of the vanes to alter the geometry of the flow path. 12. The nozzle of claim 11, wherein the control device includes an outer control ring. 13. The nozzle of claim 12, wherein the control device includes an inner control ring. 14. The nozzle of claim 12, wherein the vanes are self-similar. 15. A variable geometry nozzle configured to regulate flow of a fluid, the nozzle comprising: a plurality of vanes, each vane having a first contact side and a second contact side, the first contact side of each vane being in sliding contact with the second contact side of an adjacent vane, the vanes defining a skew angle with respect to an axis of the nozzle from a front side to a rear side thereof, the skew angle remaining substantially constant when the nozzle is moved from a closed position to an opened position, the vanes being movable by sliding contact of the respective contacting first and second sides along their entire length to alter the geometry of a flow path through the nozzle. 16. The nozzle of claim 15, wherein the vanes are self-similar. 17. The nozzle of claim 15, wherein the vanes are configured and disposed in the nozzle to form a convergent flow path. 18. The nozzle of claim 15, wherein the vanes are arranged to form a generally radially symmetrical cross section nozzle.
