In this special guest feature from Scientific Computing World, Bill Clark, executive vice president of CD-adapco, considers the successes of computer-aided engineering through the “three ages of CFD. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is about solving difficult engineering problems, using expensive software, enormous computing resources, and highly trained engineers. If the problems weren’t difficult, then it is doubtful that anyone would devote so much time and money to solving them. From the perspective of a modern engineer, it would be easy to assume that this desire to apply simulation technology to complex problems is a recent concern; that only today are we able to contemplate solving tough industrial problems, armed with a complex array of multi-physics simulation tools. This is a misconception.  To read further, please visit http://insidehpc.com/2014/09/past-present-future-engineering-simulation/.
