A Computer Program for Calculating the Steady and Oscillatory Supersonic Flow over Thin Wings.

Abstract

A computer program for the calculation of linearized steady and oscillatory supersonic flow over thin wings has been implemented on an ELXSI. The program uses an explicit finite difference scheme on a characteristic grid to solve for the reduce potential and pressure coefficient on the wing surface. Keywords; Supersonic flow; Thin wings; Computer programs; and Australia.
