This unit introduces and analyses the fundamental mathematical and physical principles involved in the development and application of modern methods in computational aerodynamics. Forms of the governing flow equations are first discussed and these are then reduced to a simple model equation, which is used for the development and testing of numerical methods. Accuracy, stability, and convergence of these schemes are investigated mathematically. Issues involved in applying these methods to real aerodynamic flows are then discussed, including grid generation aspects, data storage and memory implications, and the impact of continuing developments in computer architecture.
