Abstract
A method for studying compressible, aligned MFD parallel flows is discussed. Flow equations are recast in an orthogonal streamline coordinate system, by employing some results from differential geometry. Exact solutions of these equations are obtained by assuming, a priori, certain functional forms of the speed, for straight parallel flows. Several examples are given to illustrate this method.
