Streamwise computation of two-dimensional incompressible potential flows (Q1067885)

A new approach to calculate two-dimensional plane and axisymmetric incompressible potential flows is presented. The dependent variables of the new approach are the streamwise velocity along a set of chosen streamlines, and the coordinates of the chosen streamlines in the cross stream plane. Thus, the method generates directly the streamline pattern for a given flow. The method is particularly well suited for computing flow through complex configurations.
