               ASSOCIATION FOR COMPUTING MACHINERY
                San Francisco Golden Gate Chapter
               "SIGBIG" Special Interest Committee
                 For Large High Speed Computers

 Meetings on  the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 PM.   Speakers 
 who  can give insights to various aspects of  SUPERCOMPUTING are 
 featured each month.

 Next meeting:     Wednesday, February 5, 1986,  7:30 PM

     Speaker:      Dr. Paul Kutler /
		    Chief of the Fluid Dynamics Division in the
		    Aerophysics Directorate at NASA Ames Research

     Topic:        Computational Fluid Dynamics at NASA Ames Research

     Abstract:   Numerical aerodynamic simulation is a computational tool
	for predicting the aerodynamics and fluid dynamics of aerospace
	vehicles by solving a set of mathematical equations with a high-
	speed digital computer.  Researchers working in the area are required
	to be knowledgeable in four technical areas: aerodynamics, fluid
	dynamics, mathematics, and computer science.  Numerical aerodynamic
	simulation, which is more commonly referred to as computational
	fluid dynamics, provides the aerospace vehicle designer with a
	relatively new but formidable tool to be used in the design and
	analysis process.
		 The present effectiveness and future promise of computational
	fluid dynamics (CFD) will be discussed in Dr. Kutler's lecture.  The
	CFD ideal of computer-designed flight vehicles and the progress that
	has been made towards its achievement will also be addressed.  During
	the course of the lecture numerous examples demonstrating the practical
	application of this tool will be presented.  Movie clips of the nu-
	merical solutions will be shown depicting some of the rather compli-
	cated flowfields that are currently being computed using CFD.
