Inviscid surface streamline program for use in predicting shuttle heating rates

A number of methods are currently under development for computing the exact three-dimensional flow field about real configurations. However, even when these methods are available, they will require large computational times on present generation computers. Thus, there is still a need to develop approximate methods to solve three-dimensional flow problems. An inviscid-surface-streamline program (for predicting shuttle heating rates) which uses approximate methods to obtain a solution is described.
