The Method Of Characteristics

The method of characteristics for steady supersonic flow problems in three dimensions, due to Coburn & Dolph (1949), is extended so that flow with shocks and entropy changes may be treated. Equations of motion based on Coburn & Dolph's characteristic coordinate system are derived and a scheme is described for solving these by finite differences.A linearized method of characteristics is developed for calculating perturbations of a given three-dimensional field of flow. This is a generalization of the method evolved by Ferri (1952) for perturbations of plane flow and conical flow.

The Method Of Characteristics

Abstract The method of characteristics for two-dimensional supersonic flow is reviewed and summarized. A characteristics chart is presented for use with the graphical procedure of Prandtl and Busemann. A new numerical procedure is described which eliminates graphical operations and which allows of more accurate solutions. To facilitate the numerical method, a table of useful functions is included.
