On a fast numerical quadrature formula

Pages 177-182 | Received 01 Jul 1979, Published online: 20 Mar 2007
 

Abstract

A fast quadrature formula using a logarithmically varying grid is investigated. The accuracy of the formula is studied for a simplified model which crudely represents the eigensolutions obtained in the stability analysis of the flat plate turbulent boundary layer using the “variation-iteration” method and the Green's functions. This formula helps reduce the number of calls to evaluate the function being integrated without significant loss in accuracy. Application of this method to the original turbulence problem results in significant savings in machine time.
