The quasi-linear hyperbolic differential equations governing fluid-hammer phenomena in a two-dimensional plane or axisymmetric system are written as integrals along bi-characteristics and a streamline. A stepwise solution procedure is constructed by replacing the integrals by approximation formulas. Derivatives of dependent variables in directions outside the characteristic cone are eliminated and explicit solutions are obtained by linearly combining the remaining difference relations. Two solution schemes resulting from the two approximation formulas are examined for their numerical stability.Numerical calculations are carried out for a plane acoustic wave diffracting from a 90° sharp corner, and the result is compared with analytical solutions and experiment. Numerical results are further obtained for a simple problem involving a sudden expansion and contraction and the results are compared with one-dimensional acoustic solutions.
