Detached shock problem and related topics
1959
A finite difference method for solving the Cauchy or initial value problem for elliptic partial differential equations as introduced in (1) and further developed in (2) will be the principal topic discussed here. Involved in this discussion, also, will be certain basic notions related to the (analytic) stability of such problems as developed in (2) and (3). Contributions to the theory of hypersonic flow which resulted from application of this numerical method to the inviscid portion of the flow in the nose region of a blunt nosed body (1) (2) (4) and, also, a successful attack on the related boundary layer problem using a modified Crank-Nicolson technique (5) will be described. It will be shown further that the numerical method given in (2) is useful in resolving certain scientific questions in connection with engineering design of Pierce type electron guns.
