  • The flow at the mouth of a stanton pitot 
    A. Thom (1952)
    An arithmetical calculation is made of the flow at the mouth of a Stanton Pitot as the Reynolds number tends to zero. A stationary eddy is found under the lip of the Pitot. A figure is found for the height of the effective ...
  • The forces on a cylinder in shear flow 
    A. Thom (1962)
    Summary. An arithmetical solution is obtained for the viscous creeping flow past a circular cylinder on the bottom of a channel roughly two diameters deep. The top of the channel is assumed to be in uniform motion so a ...
  • A new relaxational treatment of the compressible two-dimensional flow about an aerofoil with circulation 
    L. C. Woods; A. Thom (1950)
    The incompressible two-dimensional flow about an aerofoil with circulation is calculated using relaxation on the square mesh formed by the incompressible velocity equipotentials (φ = constant) and the streamlines (ψ = ...
  • Note on the Convergence of Numerical Solutions of the Navier-Stokes Equations 
    A. Thom; C. J. Apelt (1956)
    A criterion is given for the convergence of numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in two dimensions under steady conditions. The criterion applies to all cases, of steady viscous flow in two dimensions and ...
  • The pressure in a two-dimensional static hole at low Reynolds numbers 
    A. Thom; C. J. Apelt (1957)
    A description is given of an arithmetical method for obtaining solutions for steady incompressible viscous flow at low Reynolds numbers in the form of expansions in powers of the Reynolds numbers. The method has been used ...
  • Treatment of the stagnation point in arithmetical methods 
    A. Thom (1951)
    In using any of the Relaxation Techniques near a stagnation point difficulties arise if the variable is log 1/q. This tends to infinity and the difference equation no longer represents adequately the differential equation ...
  • Tunnel-wall effect on an aerofoil at subsonic speeds 
    A. Thom; Laura Klanfer (1951)
    This is a detailed study of the effect of the presence of walls on the flow past a symmetrical aerofoil at zero incidence. The low-speed case is considered first, followed by solutions at a Mach number of 0.7. The methods ...
