Characteristic calculation of flowfields with chemical reactions.

Abstract

The accuracy and the relative simplicity of the construction of the method discussed have been amply demonstrated by example problems solved in Refs. 1 and 2 and in this paper. Geometrical constructions have been used in these examples, i.e., distances measured directly on the drawing board and circles drawn by compass. These geometrical constructions and numerical calculations can be easily programed on a digital computer, and greater accuracy can be expected. Further refinement of the method by considering the change of radius of curvature according to the Gauss equation is also feasible. Currently, this method is being applied to nozzle design problems and problems involving viscous fluids.
