Wave Rotor Research: A Computer Code for Preliminary Design of Wave Diagrams.

Abstract

A one-dimensional Euler code for solving the unsteady, inviscid, compressible flow in wave rotor devices is described. The Random Choice Method program (RCM) implemented in the code is shown to be very suitable for describing the multiple discontinuities and wave interactions in these flows. The modular structure of the program allows studying different 'families' of wave diagrams quickly and inexpensively. Example applications are included. Keywords: Fluid flow; and Finite difference equations. (Author)
