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.
