The compressible potential flow on a blade‐to‐blade surface of a turbomachine is analysed using the Thomas algorithm. The numerical properties of resulting non‐linear simultaneous equations are studied with respect to grid aspect ratios and convergence. The heuristic approach has established which are the important factors that affect the flow solution in typical blade‐to‐blade configurations.
