Abstract

Impressive progress in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been made during the last three decades. Currently CFD has become an indispensable tool for analyzing and designing aircrafts. Wind tunnel testing, however, is still the central player for aircraft developments and CFD plays a subordinate part.
