Abstract
Summary The Dynamic Relaxation solution of the Laplace equation introduces dynamic terms into the basic equation. When this is written as an explicit finite difference formulation it can be solved by an iterative process which only requires a simple substitution routine. The method is easy to programme and requires small storage in the computer. By studying problems involving wind tunnel interference in steady flow, the potentialities of the method are demonstrated.Keywords
