ACCURATE COMPUTATION AND INTERPOLATION TECHNIQUE OF FINITE ANALYTIC COEFFICIENTS

摘要

The finite analytic method (FA) developed in the last decade is an effective numerical method for solving fluid flow problems. However, because of the limitation in the present computer, large round-off errors are found in calculating FA coefficients when Reynolds number is large. This paper investigates the cause of this difficulty and presents a special programming technique in making an accurate computation of FA coefficients. Then a fundamental function known as "P_e" is tabulated by the accurate computation. In practical application the interpolation technique is employed so that the FA coefficients can be obtained reliably and quickly.
