Description: An adaptation of a primitive variable, finite-difference computer program was made in order to predict the non-reacting flow fields in turbojet test cells. The study compares the predictions of the primitive variable computer model with an earlier stream function-vorticity computer model and empirical data. It was found that the model reasonably predicted the flow fields and allowed simulation of test cell flows up to full engine throttle conditions.
