Abstract

Computational fluid dynamics has had a truly dramatic development process in the last decade. The first broad attempts to solve the Euler equations came at the begin of the Eighties, see for example Ref. 1, the proceedings of one of the first GAMM-Workshops in the field of Numerical Fluid Mechanics in 1979. Now even Navier-Stokes solutions are feasible for complex configurations.
