Axisymmetric transonic flow is of interest not only because of its practical application to missile and launch vehicle aerodynamics but also because of its relation, in terms of area rule, to fully three dimensional flow. RAXBOD computer program analyzes steady, inviscid, irrotational, transonic flow over axisymmetric bodies in free air. RAXBOD uses finite-difference relaxation method to solve numerically exact formulation of disturbance velocity potential with exact surface boundary conditions. Agreement with available experimental results has been good in cases where viscous effects and wind-tunnel wall interference are not important.
