The computation of transonic potential flow
Abstract
Currently available methods for computing steady, inviscid, potential flow by finite difference techniques are discussed with emphasis on discretization of the potential equation, the use of iterative algorithms, and grid generation. Applications considered include axisymmetric solid bodies, axisymmetric nacelles, nozzles and ducts, and wing-body combinations.
