An electronic analogue for supersonic flow
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 March 2006
Abstract
An analogue method for solving certain quasi-linear hyperbolic partial differential equations is presented. The characteristic lines are formed by scanning electronically the screen of a cathoderay tube. The boundary conditions are introduced in the form of an opaque mask. The solution appears as a picture on the screen of a second cathode-ray tube. The experiments demonstrate the feasibility of the approach, but the development of the machine has not been carried beyond this stage.
