Dr. Neal Frink will be sharing a presentation that he gave for the Aerodynamics Award Lecture at the 2013 AIAA Applied Aerodynamics Conference in San Diego, June 24-27. The audience will be taken on an entertaining journey of how a youngster growing up through the 60’s, and seeded with a passion for things that fly, ended up on the crest of a new wave in CFD. This lecture will touch on some of the pivotal innovations that opened new doors in aerodynamic analysis and design. It is hoped that the listener will gain a better appreciation of how a relatively small number of pioneers were inspired with a level and breadth of innovation that collectively produced a true revolutionary advancement in computational aerodynamic capability.
