dear Ulf,
If you're into CFD *software* , this paper by Matthew Spencer :
Spencer, Matthew. 2015. “Brittleness and Bureaucracy : Software as a
Material for Science.” Perspectives on Science 23 (4): 466–84.
narrates the history of [this piece of software]
(http://www.swmath.org/software/24822) and has a pioneering take on the
influence of software on scientific activity. It was an inspiration for
our (Frédéric Wieber and I) own work on computational chemistry software
as historians of science.
