The first volume of Frontiers of Computational Fluid Dynamics was published in 1994 and was dedicated to Prof Antony Jameson. The present volume is dedicated to Prof Earll Murman in appreciation of his original contributions to this field.

The book covers the following topics:

• Transonic and Hypersonic Aerodynamics
• Algorithm Developments and Computational Techniques
• Impact of High Performance Computing
• Applications in Aeronautics and Beyond
• Industrial Perspectives
• Engineering Education

The book contains 25 chapters written by leading researchers from academia, government laboratories, and industry.
