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

[Ceruzzi, Paul]

John D. Anderson, Jr., emeritus professor of Aeronautics at the University of Maryland, has written a definitive textbook on CFD. He is also a curator at the National Air and Space Museum, and the author of several books on aviation history. His latest book, "The Grand Designers...", for example, was favorably reviewed in the current issue of Technology & Culture ( vol. 61/3, pp. 976-978). One can assume he knows a lot about the history of CFD.

I mentioned this SIGCIS discussion to him, and he replied that he would be happy to hear from those of you interested in the history of CFD. <andersonja at si.edu>.

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]
(https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.swmath.org%2Fsoftware%2F24822&data=02%7C01%7Cceruzzip%40si.edu%7C040dd5a568fa48e860d208d85ff44db4%7C989b5e2a14e44efe93b78cdd5fc5d11c%7C0%7C1%7C637364850164535973&sdata=wIuUDGDhvwhhezCozxvdJkb%2BGS8HtVGT%2BzufbIt8FSg%3D&reserved=0) 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.
