Extract

Numerical solutions to unsteady flow problems have been developed, and often it is not possible to carry out a direct check on their accuracy. However, such a check was given in Ref. 3 using an analytical solution for zero spatial velocity gradient. The object of the present note is to present a different simple analytical solution which can be used as a special case for checking the accuracy of a numerical solution. Also, the solution is of interest itself as it corresponds to certain gas dynamic problems.
