Summary
This paper traces the development of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), from its beginnings in the second half of the 20th Century to the present time with special emphasis on the evolution of the market for commercial codes. A discussion is provided on the reasons behind the current ‘success’ of commercial CFD packages and the present issues concerning the everyday use of CFD in Industry are examined. An attempt is made at providing some perspectives for its future deployment.
