This volume reports results from the German research initiative MUNA (Management and Minimization of Errors and Uncertainties in Numerical Aerodynamics), which combined development activities of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), German universities and German aircraft industry. The main objective of this five year project was the development of methods and procedures aiming at reducing various types of uncertainties that are typical of numerical flow simulations. The activities were focused on methods for grid manipulation, techniques for increasing the simulation accuracy, sensors for turbulence modelling, methods for handling uncertainties of the geometry and grid deformation as well as stochastic methods for quantifying aleatoric uncertainties.

This volume contains results gained from the EU-funded 6th Framework project ADIGMA (Adaptive Higher-order Variational Methods for Aerodynamic Applications in Industry). The goal of ADIGMA was the development and utilization of innovative adaptive higher-order methods for the compressible flow equations enabling reliable, mesh independent numerical solutions for large-scale aerodynamic applications in aircraft industry. The ADIGMA consortium was comprised of 22 organizations which included the main European aircraft manufacturers, the major European research establishments and several universities, all with well proven expertise in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The book presents an introduction to the project, exhibits partners’ methods and approaches and provides a critical assessment of the newly developed methods for industrial aerodynamic applications. The best numerical strategies for integration as major building blocks for the next generation of industrial flow solvers are identified.

High resolution upwind and centered methods are now a mature generation of computational techniques applicable to a range of engineering and scientific disciplines, with computational fluid dynamics being the most prominent. This textbook gives a practical presentation of this class of techniques. It is designed to provide readers with an understanding of the basic concepts, some of the underlying theory, the ability to use research papers on the subject, and, above all, with the required information for the practical implimentation of the methods. Applications include: compressible; steady; unsteady; reactive; viscous; non-viscous; and free surface flows. The author takes a didactic approach and points out practical applications. The book also contains some sample FORTRAN programs. (view table of contents)
