COMPRESSIBLE FLOW IN A NOZZLE

GEOMETRY&MESH
CREATE VERTEX
Select GEOMETRY>VERTEX

Enter dimensions v1(-.5,0,0)

V2 (.5,0,0)

CREATE LINE
Select GEOMETRY > CREATE EDGE

By clicking SHIFT+LEFT KEY over the two vertex,we able to create line

CREATE WALL EDGE

Using fortran program find the value of x,y,z (z=0)

Using DO LOOP vary x=-.5,.5,.1
R(x)=((0.1+x^2)/pi)^0.5
Import in gambit
