Abstract

An analysis of internal potential flow is presented showing the existence of multiple potential solutions with shocks for a given mass flow rate. These solutions are related to non isentropic Euler solutions. Inflow and outflow boundary conditions are proposed which uniquely determine the shock position allowing the calculation of potential flows which are either choked or have a supersonic inlet. Numerical computations using a multigrid finite element approach are presented and compared with exact quasi-one-dimensional Euler solutions confirming the ability of the potential method to solve accurately supersonic and choked nozzle flows.
