Microcomputer numerical analysis system for gas dynamics application

Abstract

The original objective (scope) of the effort was to deliver a microcomputer version of the Continuum gas dynamic numerical analysis on existing NASA equipment. It became apparent during the course of the contract that the interests of NASA would be much better served by the delivery of a dedicated system designed and developed by Continuum, which would provide NASA with additional hardware ideally suited to the specific task at no increase in cost. Accordingly, the contract was modified to reflect this new development. The details of the modification and the delivered capability will be discussed in greater detail in the ensuing technical discussion.
