Title: A Method for Solving Problems of Irrotational Gas Flow by Means of High-Speed Digital Computers
Abstract: Abstract A numerical procedure is proposed for solution of certain problems in steady gas flow where subsonic, sonic, and supersonic regions appear simultaneously. The difficulties that occur in analytical methods for taking into account the differences of the type of the fundamental equation (elliptic, parabolic, hyperbolic) are avoided. Given a streamline and the state of the gas along that streamline, the co-ordinates of the neighboring streamline and the state of the gas along it can be computed. The procedure can be applied successively to cover a flow field. The method is described in detail for two-dimensional, steady, irrotational flow (without shocks) of a perfect gas, and an example is given.
