Aeronautical applications of simulation technology at Ames Research Center are described. The largest wind tunnel in the world is used to determine the flow field and aerodynamic characteristics of various aircraft, helicopter, and missile configurations. Large computers are used to obtain similar results through numerical solutions of the governing equations. Capabilities are illustrated by computer simulations of turbulence, aileron buzz, and an exhaust jet. Flight simulators are used to assess the handling qualities of advanced aircraft, particularly during takeoff and landing.
