Chapter 13, Problem 13.1P

Note: The purpose of the following problem is to provide an exercise in carrying out a unit process for the method of characteristics. A more extensive application to a complete flow field is left to your specific desires. Also, an extensive practical problem utilizing the finite-difference method requires a large number of arithmetic operations and is practical only on a digital computer. You are encouraged to set up such a problem at your leisure. The main purpose of the present chapter is to present the essence of several numerical methods, not to burden the reader with a lot of calculations or the requirement to write an extensive computer program.

Consider two points in a supersonic flow. These points are located in a cartesian coordinate system at ( x 1 , y 1 ) = ( 0 , 0.0684 ) and ( x 2 , y 2 ) = ( 0.0121 , 0 ) , where the units are meters. At point ( x 1 , y 1 ) : u 1 = 639 m / s , v 1 = 232 . 6 m / s , p 1 = 1 atm , T 1 = 288 K . At point ( x 2 , y 2 ) : u 2 = 680 m / s , v 2 = 0 , p 2 = 1 atm , T 2 = 288 K . Consider point 3 downstream of points 1 and 2 located by the intersection of the C + characteristic through point 2 and the C characteristic through point 1. At point 3, calculate: u 3 , v 3 , p 3 , and T 3 . Also, calculate the location of point 3, assuming the characteristics between these points are straight lines.
