There are a few threads in this forum about CFD, but I thought I'd establish one for a general discussion of CFD methods and applications and tie it in with others as appropriate.
In the December '07 issue of Aerospace America in the Aerospace Sciences section is a short article on the recent developments in various subfields of fluid dynamics. The first article is about CFD Methods and Applications.
BTW, I strongly recommend membership in AIAA!

AIAA/Aerospace America - Aerospace Sciences said:The application of hybrid Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS)/large-eddy simulation (LES) methods to aerodynamic flows continued to be an active area of research in the U.S. and abroad. Symposia held in London, England, and in Kerkyra, Greece, highlighted the successes and shortcomings of these techniques. In addition to the canonical separated-flow applications, the method is being used increasingly for wall-modeled LES and for zonal simulations.
Research continued in the development of techniques that improve the solution behavior at the interface between RANS and LES. Boeing and TTC Technologies independently improved and applied high-order-based hybrid RANS/LES procedures to accurately simulate the flow and fluctuating pressure fields required for jet noise prediction in a coupled nozzle/jet plume model.
