Abstract

The article presents a straightforward method for minimizing computer time in problems dealing with two-dimensional supersonic flow. The method is recommended for incorporation into existing two-dimensional time-marching compressible-flow computer codes. The method has been used successfully in conjunction with the RICE code for calculating supersonic mixing flow in CW chemical lasers.

John Ramshaw was employed at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory at the time of writing.
