Engineering: Mechanics of fluids

Ludwig Prandtl hat mit seinen grundlegenden Beiträgen zur Hydro-, Aero-und Gasdyna­ mik die Entwicklung auf dem Gebiet der Strömungsmechanik entscheidend geprägt und mit seinen bahnbrechenden Arbeiten in der ersten Hälfte des letzten Jahrhunderts die moderne Strömungsmechanik begründet.

It has been recognized by the European Union (EU) that the survival of the Aeronautical Industries of Europe in the highly competitive World Aviation Market is strongly dependent on such factors as time-to-market of a new or derivative aircraft and on its manufacturing costs but also on the achievement of a competitive technological advantage by which an increased market share can be gained.

The IMACS-COST conference on "e;Computational Fluid Dynamics, Three-Dimensional Complex Flows"e; was held in Lausanne, Switzerland, September 13 - 15, 1995.

Computational Fluid Dynamics research, especially for aeronautics, continues to be a rewarding and industrially relevant field of applied science in which to work.

This monograph is the result of my PhD thesis work in Computational Fluid Dynamics at the Massachusettes Institute of Technology under the supervision of Professor Earll Murman.

For the last ten years, there has been an ever-increasing awareness that fluid motion and transport processes influenced by buoyancy are of interest in many fields of science and technology.

The numerical simulation of the Euler equations of Fluid Dynamics has been these past few years a challenging problem both for research scientists and aerospace engineers.

With the advent of super computers during the last ten years, the numerical simulation of viscous fluid flows modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations is becoming a most useful tool in Aircraft and Engine Design.
