Newton-Raphson Method
I was recently asked by a class to go over the Newton-Raphson method for solving non-linear equations. Specifically in this case it was to solve 1D gas dynamics equations. Here … Continue Reading Newton-Raphson Method
Stationary Normal Shock Waves
Shock-waves are a common topic covered in undergraduate thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and gas dynamics courses. Because shock-waves are awesome, I figured I would do one of my first posts on … Continue Reading Stationary Normal Shock Waves
Solving the cavity flow problem using the streamfunction-vorticity formulation
The classic lid-driven cavity flow problem is solved using the vorticity streamfunction formulation and compared to a solution using OpenFOAM.
