Computational Fluid Dynamics In Aerospace

Abstract

Report reviews recent progress in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Addresses state of art in terms of methods, examples of solutions, and computer technology. Provides examples of CFD solutions of aerospace and fluid-physics problems to illustrate recent progress. Aerospace solutions include rotor/stator velocity vectors from three-dimensional Navier-Stokes code for turbomachinery, pressure distributions from simulation of aeroelasticity of wing surface-pressure contours on four-bladed helicopter rotor in forward flight, and particle traces about several aerospace vehicles. Computer technology covers supercomputers, scientific work stations, local supercomputing networks, and remote access to supercomputers.
