Impact of Supercomputers on the Next Decade of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Abstract

A small group of CFD researchers from the United States and Israel gathered in Jerusalem during December 1984 at a workshop entitled “The Impact of Supercomputers on the Next Decade of Computational Fluid Dynamics.” The background of the workshop attendees ranged from CFD code developers to applied mathematicians to computer experts. During the workshop the participants presented and discussed results of their current research. They then engaged in discussion of the workshop theme. This article attempts to summarize their observations and speculations on what the impact of supercomputers will be on CFD during the next decade. First, however, we briefly summarize the papers in these proceedings and the current status of CFD.
