SummaryThe numerical calculation of the subcritical, steady, three-dimensional, potential flow past a semi-infinite swept elliptic cylinder attached to a plane wall is described. The full equations of motion are written in terms of the velocity potential and the exact body-surface conditions are applied. The equations are expressed in coordinates defined by the body shape and further transformations are necessary to reduce the infinite domain to a finite working space and to concentrate the grid points in regions of greatest variation of potential. The resulting equations are solved using a finite-difference scheme. The Mach number distribution for a typical case is presented.
