Title: Supercomputer applications in automotive research and engineering development

Book ·
OSTI ID:5113586

The book derives from the fact that rapid advances in automotive engineering and the increasing complexity of automotive design, coupled with equally rapid advances in computer technology and supercomputers, have created the need to establish a close communication between the developers of software and hardware technologies. The increasing speed and expanded storage capacity of modern high-speed computers, coupled with advanced numerical methods and programming techniques in computational mechanics, have greatly improved our ability to delineate optimal solutions to increasingly more complex engineering problems faced by the highly competitive automotive industry. This book provides an account or current computational techniques in the automobile industry. Papers include crash simulation analysis in manufacturing, automobile aerodynamics, engine combustion modelling, optimisation and the use of expert systems.
