Development of a Streamline Method

Abstract

The research investigated and developed a novel streamline method for the computation of steady state compressible flows in ducts and axial compressors. The method is based on the description of a streamline in terms of axial position and two parameters. A coupled pair of second order differential equation are developed and solved by a relaxing process in the subsonic case, and by downstream marching in the supersonic case.
