Summary

Numerical solutions are obtained for the one-dimensional radial flow of a compressible fluid between parallel discs. A general discussion of the variations of pressure, density, velocity and temperature along the radius of the disc is then given. The present investigation covers both subsonic and supersonic flows, a range not previously covered in the literature.
