About this title

Synopsis:

This book contains papers presented at an International Seminar on Supercomputing in Fluid Flow, held in Lowell, Massachusetts. It gives state-of-the-art applications of simulation using supercomputers.

The speed and power of supercomputers are continually being improved and new types of architecture and algorithms are simultaneously being developed so
that supercomputing applications can take advantage of them. Among all the
applications of supercomputing for numerically intensive problems, perhaps the most significant is in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), particularly in the graphic visualization of the fluid flow field. In the problems of the aerodynamics of aircraft, spacecraft and automobiles, mathematical modeling with supercomputing is now a viable alternative for obtaining speedy and less expensive results compared with model testing.
