Abstract :
The National Aerospace Laboratory (NAL) of Japan is the only national research institute for aerospace engineering and services in Japan. NAL is a pioneer of supercomputer development and utilization in Japan. Since 1993, NAL has developed the Numerical Wind Tunnel (NWT), consisting of 166 parallel-connected Fujitsu vector processors and has been providing substantial computational power resources to scientists and industries since 1993. This paper describes the background of NWT´s development, its present status and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) research being carried out on NWT
