Numerical Solutions of the Euler Equations for Steady Flow Problems

Part of the book series: Notes on Numerical Fluid Mechanics (NNFM) ((NONUFM,volume 48))

  • 169 Accesses

Abstract

In this chapter we present some results obtained from solutions computed to the Euler equations. They are a selection mainly from own work that covers a range of flow velocities, from very low to very high, and flow complexities, from simple academic cases to complicated industrial flow problems. These cases illustrate many different phenomena. Some are chosen to demonstrate the type and character of flow separation that is observed in Euler computations, other are chosen to demonstrate the practical utility of Euler solutions for industrial design.
