FRONTIERS OF COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS 2002

edited by D A Caughey (Cornell University, USA) & M M Hafez (University of California, Davis, USA)

This series of volumes on the "Frontiers of Computational Fluid Dynamics" was introduced to honor contributors who have made a major impact on the field. The first volume was published in 1994 and was dedicated to Prof Antony Jameson; the second was published in 1998 and was dedicated to Prof Earl Murman. The volume is dedicated to Prof Robert MacCormack.

The twenty-six chapters in the current volume have been written by leading researchers from academia, government laboratories, and industry. They present up-to-date descriptions of recent developments in techniques for numerical analysis of fluid flow problems, and applications of these techniques to important problems in industry, as well as the classic paper that introduced the "MacCormack scheme" to the world.
