Nonlinear Supersonic Full Potential Analysis

Supersonic Implicit Marching Program (SIMP) applies numerical method, based on conservative form of full potential equation, to problem of threedimensional supersonic flows with embedded subsonic regions. Conservative formulation of problem provides ability to capture shocks and to assess accurately impact of sweep, thickness, and lift for conditions where linear theory unsatisfactory. Technique uses characteristic signal-propagation theory to control density biasing for treatment of shocks (including embedded shocks) and mixed elliptic/hyperbolic crossflow. SIMP written in FORTRAN 77.
