Abstract

A fair portion of the dream to acquire the solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations has come true through the remarkable development of computers and solution algorithms in recent years. However, it is also true that there still remain serious hurdles in simulating general fluid flows. A few numerical trials to overcome the existing difficulties are introduced. The issues in numerical simulations of high-Reynolds-number flows, flows characterized by complex body geometry, and multi-phase flows, are scrutinized. The future of computational fluid dynamics as a promising tool for flow analyses is illuminated by this review.
