Computational Aerosciences in the 21st Century: Proceedings of the ICASE/LaRC/NSF/ARO Workshop, conducted by the Institute for Computer Applications ... Series in Science and Engineering, 8)

by Manuel D. Salas (Editor), W. Kyle Anderson (Editor)

Over the last decade, the role of computational simulations in all aspects of aerospace design has steadily increased. However, despite the many advances, the time required for computations is far too long. This book examines new ideas and methodologies that may, in the next twenty years, revolutionize scientific computing. The book specifically looks at trends in algorithm research, human computer interface, network-based computing, surface modeling and grid generation and computer hardware and architecture. The book provides a good overview of the current state-of-the-art and provides guidelines for future research directions. The book is intended for computational scientists active in the field and program managers making strategic research decisions.
