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?
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. -- *********************************************** Alexandre Hocquet Archives Henri Poincaré & Science History Institute Alexandre.Hocquet@univ-lorraine.fr https://www.sciencehistory.org/profile/alexandre-hocquet https://poincare.univ-lorraine.fr/fr/membre-titulaire/alexandre-hocquet ***********************************************
