Computational Fluid Dynamics and Aerodynamics

Tools specifically oriented toward flow analysis problems are described. The approach is oriented toward performing graphics calculations on the supercomputer and using high-end workstations as rendering engines to display flow fields generated by aircraft flight. A suite of software provides both display and interactive analysis capability. Also described is animation hardware featuring Winchester disk technology, which allows the storage of more than one gigabyte of data and supports editing, special effects, and video output. >
