A COMPLETE BOUNDARY INTEGRAL FORMULATION FOR STEADY COMPRESSIBLE INVISCID FLOWS GOVERNED BY NONLINEAR EQUATIONS

A complete boundary integral formulation for steady compressible inviscid flows governed by non-linear equations is established by using the specific mass flux as a dependent variable. Thus, the dimensionality of the problem to be solved is reduced by one and the computational mesh to be generated is needed only on the boundary of the domain. It is shown that the boundary integral formulation developed in this paper is equivalent to the results of distributions of the fundamental solutions of the Laplacian operator equation with a different order along the boundaries of the domain. Hence, we have succeeded in establishing the fundamental-solution method for compressible inviscid flows governed by non-linear equations.
