A HIGH SPEED COMPUTER TECHNIQUE TO DETERMINE NOZZLE CONTOURS FOR SUPERSONIC WIND TUNNELS.

Abstract

This report describes a computer program developed at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory to calculate contours for supersonic wind tunnel nozzles. Both two-dimensional and axi-symmetric flow is covered and the technique arises from the method of characteristics in the theory of solution of hyperbolic partial differential equations. (Author)
