FRONTIERS OF COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS 1998

by David A. Caughey (Editor)

Invited to a June 1997 symposium in Everett, Washington, researchers working in aerodynamics and computational fluid dynamics in several countries present their 25 papers. They include discussions of optimal hypersonic conical wings, computing an axisymmetric nozzle flow, the complex analysis of transonic flow, the excitation of absolutely unstable disturbances in boundary-layer flows, added dissipation in flow computations, autoblocking for wings with split and hinged flaps, aerospace engineering simulations on parallel computers, incompressible Navier-Stokes computations in aerospace applications and beyond, the tradeoffs of airfoil optimization, lessons from research on train aerodynamics, a curriculum, and a computer-based fluid mechanics textbook. There is no subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
