RECENT DEVELOPMENT OF AERODYNAMIC DESIGN METHOD...

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has made remarkable progress in the last two decades and is
becoming an important  if not inevitable  analytical tool for both fundamental and practical
fluid dynamics research. The analysis of flow fields is important in the sense that it improves
the researcher's understanding of the flow features. CFD analysis also indirectly helps the
design of new aircraft and or spacecraft. However  design methodologies are the real need for
the development of aircraft or spacecraft. They directly contribute to the design process and
can significantly shorten the design cycle. Although quite a few publications have been written
on this subject  most of the methods proposed were not used in practice in the past due to an
immature research level and restrictions due to the inadequate computing capabilities. With the
progress of high-speed computers  the time has come for such methods to be used practically.
There is strong evidence of a growing interest in the development and use of aerodynamic
inverse design and optimization techniques. This is true  not only for aerospace industries 
but also for any industries requiring fluid dynamic design. This clearly shows the matured
engineering need for optimum aerodynamic shape design methodologies. Therefore  it seems timely
to publish a book in which eminent researchers in this area can elaborate on their research
efforts and discuss it in conjunction with other efforts.
