Abstract: The history of high-performance computing in turbulent flows is
reviewed and their recent topics in industrial use are addressed. Special
attention is paid to the validity of the method in flow visualization, and
three-dimensional unsteady simulation is focused. Seemingly fundamental CFD
technique for 3-D turbulence simulation has been well developed recently, but
its practical use as an industrial tool has not yet become popular. An effort
to close a wide gap between fundamental and practical use of scientific
computer simulation is introduced through the national project promoting
computational science and its development in industries of the next generation.
