Summary

The continuous progress in the development of solution techniques for time dependent, three-dimensional flow problems is unthinkable without the substantial increase of computational speed and storage capacity of high-performance computers and the remarkable development of discretization, solution, and visualization methods. This paper summarizes some of the major results obtained in the past few years at the Aerodynamisches Institut of the RWTH Aachen in numerically simulating flows in technical apparatus, biological systems, aerodynamic flows, parallel computing, and in simulating complex flows with vortical structures. Comparison to experimental data is sought whenever possible. It will be shown, that direct numerical simulation of complex flow phenomena is successful, if sufficient space and time resolution can be provided.
