Fifteenth International Conference on Numerical Methods in Fluid Dynamics

This book covers a wide area of topics, from fundamental theories to industrial applications. It serves as a useful reference for everyone interested in computational modeling of partial differential equations pertinent primarily to aeronautical applications. The reader will find three survey articles on the present state of the art in numerical simulation of the transition to turbulence, in design optimization of aircraft configurations, and in turbulence modeling. These are followed by carefully selected and refereed articles on algorithms and their applications, on design methods, on grid adaption techniques, on direct numerical simulations, and on parallel computing, and much more.
