Computational Aerodynamics Development and Outlook

TL;DR: The field of computational fluid dynamics during recent years has developed sufficiently to initiate some changes in traditional methods of aerodynamic design, and numerical simulations offer the potential of mending many ills of wind-tunnel and turbomachinery experiments and of providing thereby important new technical capabilities for the aerospace industry.

Conservation equations of gasdynamics in curvilinear coordinate systems

TL;DR: In this article, a method of writing the conservation equations of gasdynamics in curvilinear coordinates which eliminates undifferentiated terms is presented. But the method is only applicable to orthogonal coordinates and not to general tensor transformations.

Computation of Space Shuttle Flowfields Using Noncentered Finite-Difference Schemes

TL;DR: In this article, second-and third-order finite-difference schemes are described for numerical solution of the hyperbolic equations of fluid dynamics, and the results are compared with regard to dissipative and dispersive errors and shock-capturing ability.

Second- and Third-Order Noncentered Difference Schemes for Nonlinear Hyperbolic Equations

TL;DR: Second-and third-order finite-difference schemes for numerical solution of the hyperbolic equations of fluid dynamics are described in this article. But their methods are uncentered in the sense that spatial derivatives are generally approximated by forward or backward difference quotients.
