Computational aerodynamics: Advances and challenges

Computational aerodynamics, which complement more expensive empirical approaches, are critical for developing aerospace vehicles. During the past three decades, computational aerodynamics capability has improved remarkably, following advances in computer hardware and algorithm development. However, most of the fundamental computational capability realised in recent applications is derived from ...

Computational aerodynamics for aircraft design.

This article outlines some of the principal issues in the development of numerical methods for the prediction of flows over aircraft and their use in the design process. These include the choice of an appropriate mathematical model, the design of shock-capturing algorithms, the treatment of complex geometric configurations, and shape modifications to optimize the aerodynamic performance.

Successes and Challenges in Computational Aerodynamics

The purpose of this paper is to survey some of the highlights of computational fluid dynamics as an emerging branch of aeronautical science, and to identify several remaining unsurmounted challenges. Prior to the advent of the computer there was already in place a rather comprehensive mathematical formulation of fluid mechanics. This had been developed by elegant mathetical analysis, frequently...
