Summary

The finite element analysis of a cascade flow problem with a given velocity circulation round profiles is presented. The nonlinear problem for the stream function with nonstandard boundary conditions is discretized by conforming linear triangular elements. We deal with the properties of the discrete problem and study the convergence of the method both for polygonal and nonpolygonal domains, including the effect of numerical integration.
