Computation of inviscid flows: Full potential method

Various forms of FP (full potential) equation, spatial differencing schemes, and iterative schemes are briefly discussed. The finite difference method of solution of FP equation in cartesian coordinates is discussed in some detail. Applications of this code to a variety of flow situations like those on airfoils, axisymmetric bodies, wing, and wing-body combinations are presented. The note concludes with some general remarks on the state-of-the-art in this field. (Derived from text
