Development of a Web-Based Interactive Compressible Flow Solver Available to Purchase

Compressible flow is an important subject in aerospace and mechanical engineering disciplines. This paper describes the development of a web-base interactive compressible flow solver using Java programming language. The main objective of the solver is to provide students with a software tool than can be used in the compressible flow course offered in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Lamar University. The solver has a graphical user interface (GUI) for ease of use and interactivity. The solver was developed with the intention of free distribution to the educational community and other interested users.
