Abstract
Some years ago, the national CFD project MEGAFLOW was initiated in Germany which combines many of the CFD development activities from DLR, universities and aircraft industry. Its goal is the development and validation of a dependable and efficient numerical tool for the aerodynamic simulation of complete aircraft. Today, the MEGAFLOW software system has reached a high level of quality and efficiency. As a consequence, the MEGAFLOW system is being intensively used by the German aerospace industry in the design processes for new aircraft. This paper highlights recent enhancements of the software and it‘s capability to simulate viscous flows around complex industrial applications
