Abstract

The progress made in multidisciplinary computations using high-fidelity flow and structural equation is summarized. Given the power of super computers it has been demonstrated that it is practical to use high fidelity equations to accurately model aeroelasticity associated with complex flows involving shock-waves, vortices and separation. It is observed that most of the progress made is based on the domain decomposition approach that uses finite-difference schemes for fluids and finite element schemes for structures. High end applications of technology to areas such as active controls are discussed.
