Using the singularity-separating method to study how to decrease the pressure at the end of a tube
Abstract
The Singularity-Separating Method (SSM) is used to calculate the flow field in tubes with rapidly changing cross-section areas. How to decrease the pressure at the end of a tube is studied. The central principle behind SSM is that all discontinuity lines in the flow fields are considered as internal boundary lines. The difference scheme is only used in the subregions with continuous solution. One-sided difference scheme and boundary conditions are adopted on the boundaries and are linear or nonlinear equations. The solutions on the boundaries can be obtained by solving these equations. A software program for unsteady aerodynamic problems in one dimension is developed in order to deal with complicated SSM codes.
