Finite element calculation of axisymmetric subcritical compressible flow

An iterative finite element calculation is presented of the subcritical CGmpressible flow about a thin parabolic arc of revolution and inside an axisymmetric air intake. The calculations were performed in tenns of the stream function as well as in terms of the velocity potential Both results for the parabolic arc of revolution are compared with...

Computations with the Garabedian and Korn program for two-dimensional transonic flows with embedded shocks

The report describes experiences with the Garabedian and Korn program for the computation of compressible potential flows, with or without shocks, both supercritical shockless flows and flows with shock waves. Computations for a number of quasi-elliptical aerofoils indicated that the conformal mapping procedure should be handled with care....
