Conference paper
Part of the Notes on Numerical Fluid Mechanics and Multidisciplinary Design (NNFM) book series (NNFM, volume 85)

Summary

The state of the art of Computational Fluid Dynamics and the axis of improvements are described. The issue of flutter prediction is addressed first: the use of linearized Euler solvers for transonic flutter is explained. Recent advances in optimum aerodynamic shape design are presented next, the results demonstrate the applicability of optimization based on the Euler equations and open the way to multidisciplinary optimum design. Finally, the use of Large Eddy Simulation for accurate turbulent flow simulation is illustrated.
