Part of the book series: Notes on Numerical Fluid Mechanics ((NNFM,volume 2))

Summary

An artifical compressibility formulation of the transonic full potential equation is discretized with bilinear Finite Elements and the resulting non linear system of equations is solved with a relaxation method and with approximate factorization methods. A finite element approach to the AF1 and AF2 schemes is presented. Results containing shocks are presented for different types of geometry, including turbine and compressor cascades.
