Streamwise Computation of Two-Dimensional Incompressible Potential Flows
Abstract
A new approach to calculate two-dimensional plane and axisymmetric incompressible potential flows is presented. The dependent variables of the new approach are the streamwise velocity, along a set of chosen streamlines, and the coordinates of the chosen streamlines in the cross-stream plane. Thus, the method generates directly the streamline pattern for a given flow. The method is particularly well suited for computing flow through complex configurations.
