Numerical computation of transonic flow governed by the full-potential equation
Abstract
Basic concepts associated with the numerical solution of elliptic partial differential equations are introduced, and procedures used to solve the full potential equation for transonic flow fields are discussed. Governing equations, classical relaxation schemes and concepts regarding transonic, full potential equation algorithms are covered. The equation transformation and grid generation procedures; full potential spatial differencing schemes; full potential iteration schemes, emphasizing convergence acceleration; and three dimensional applications are presented.
