Title: Solution of the Euler equations for two dimensional transonic flow by a multigrid method
Abstract: The assumption of potential o w implies that the o w is irrotational. This is not strictly correct when shock waves are present. An exact description of transonic inviscid o w requires the solution of the Euler equations. The numerical solution of the Euler equations for steady transonic o ws is therefore a problem of great interest to the aeronautical community. It also presents a testing challenge to applied mathematicians and numerical analysts.
