Calculation Of One-Dimensional Transonic Flows Using Micro-Computers

The use of micro-computers to investigate new solutions, tech-niques•and for training purposes, proved to be a cost effective solution. In this work the potential of using micro-computers to solve one dimensional transonic flow is explored. A newly developed implicit pseudo-unsteady finite difference method for solving Euler equations is considered. The equations are solved in a converging diverging nozzle. Solutions obtained are compared to the exact solution . Bounds on the different parameters affecting the solution process and time estimates for the algorithms considered are presented.
