Fwd: [SIGCIS-Members] Historical Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Software

[Jessica Meyerson]

Anyone work with physics software repos, or work with fluid dynamics researchers that might have a lead on this?

Dear colleagues,

I became interested in the history of "Computational Fluid Dynamics
(CFD) Software" last week, but could not find much historical source
material on this topic so far. May I ask for your advice and comments?

Best, Ulf

There were a lot of 1-dimensional flow models and that has grown into 3-dimensional and other aspects for modeling. Current software is stuff like Ansys; SolidWorks has a CFD module.
