Abstract
A method is presented for solving hydrodynamic problems involving large distortions and compressions of the fluid in several space dimensions. The calculation procedure introduces finite difference approximations to the differential equations; the solution in practice is carried out by means of high-speed electronic computers. The paper discusses a number of characteristics of the method and illustrates these by presenting results of representative calculations."Contract W-7405-ENG.36 with the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.""LA-2139 ; Physics and mathematics; (TID-4500, 13th edition)""Report distributed: November 8, 1957.""Report written: June 1957."A method is presented for solving hydrodynamic problems involving large distortions and compressions of the fluid in several space dimensions.
