A comprehensive review of techniques and methods for applying computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis to high speed inlets and related flows is provided via an extensive literature survey of such applications. Topics covered include governing equations, numerical integration schemes, boundary conditions, gridding requirements, and turbulence models. Results of applications from the literature survey shed light on the relative success of the techniques being used throughout the industry. (AN).

Lists citations with abstracts for aerospace related reports obtained from world wide sources and announces documents that have recently been entered into the NASA Scientific and Technical Information Database.

"Describes the latest techniques and real-life applications of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and heat transfer in aeronautics, materials processing and manufacturing, electronic cooling, and environmental control. Includes new material from experienced researchers in the field. Complete with detailed equations for fluid flow and heat transfer."

This publication documents the results of an IAEA coordinated research project (CRP)on the application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes for nuclear power plant design. The main objective was to benchmark CFD codes, model options and methods against CFD experimental data under single phase flow conditions. This publication summarizes the current capabilities and applications of CFD codes, and their present qualification level, with respect to nuclear power plant design requirements. It is not intended to be comprehensive, focusing instead on international experience in the practical application of these tools in designing nuclear power plant components and systems. The guidance in this publication is based on inputs provided by international nuclear industry experts directly involved in nuclear power plant design issues, CFD applications, and in related experimentation and validation highlighted during the CRP.
