Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is nowadays a vital element in the aerospace design process. With aircraft being sold ahead of build it is vital to have an accurate picture of final performance. The ability to evolve novel design solutions that account for numerous constraints including potentially disastrous aerodynamic and structural mechanic interactions is also needed. The accurate prediction of range and hence drag is vital. Also, with the predicted doubling of the world aircraft fleet by 2020 environmental issues such as carbon and noise pollution are very much coming to the fore. The reduction of all these elements needs a deep understanding of turbulence, accurate and yet computational affordable turbulence modelling strategies and also the ability to control turbulence. Hence, the issue has articles on turbulence, its control, prediction and modification to reduce jet noise. Also, the use of computers to study fluid-structure interactions and evolve novel design solutions despite the numerous constraints is considered. The use of CFD in both the airframe and aeroengine contexts is explored and future horizons presented.
