Program for computing one-dimensional steady flows with energy addition in a tube of given shape
Abstract
The equations applicable to a one-dimensional flow with energy addition are transferred into canonical form and solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta method. The case of a sonic flow is examined in particular, since the righthand sides of the equations have an undetermined form or become infinity. The problem of inertial conditions as well as of thermal blocking, occurring when too much energy is added, were also investigated. The computer program used for practical application of the method is described and exemplified for some nozzle flow configurations.
