Streamline curvature design procedure for subsonic and transonic ducts

Abstract

A procedure for designing ducts for subsonic and transonic speeds is described. Examples discussed are a wind-tunnel contraction cone, a supersonic nozzle, and a diffuser. A listing of the computer program is included. The streamline curvature equations represent a form of the exact, compressible, inviscid flow equations. The method is applicable from low subsonic to supersonic speeds
