Description:
The error minimization technique is introduced as a method of obtaining the simultaneous solution to a set of partial differential equations. Because this numerical technique is at worst neutrally stable, it is believed to have fundamental advantages over existing techniques. The method is formulated in general for the steady fluid dynamic conservation equations and then applied to a specific case of irrotational isentropic flow of a perfect gas through a nozzle. Flow-field solutions were found in nozzle contours having a throat radius of curvature as low as 0·5. Comparison between experimental Mach number contours and the theoretical solution for a finite inlet nozzle with a conical exit is excellent. © 1970, Cambridge University Press. All rights reserved.
