Abstract

National Aerospace Laboratory(NAL) of Japan is the only one national research institute for aerospace engineering and services in Japan. NAL is a forerunner of supercomputer development and utilization in Japan. Since 1993, NAL has developed NUMERICAL WIND TUNNEL (NWT) consisting of parallelly connected 166 vector processors with Fujitsu and has been providing substantial power resources to the scientists and industries since 1993. This paper describes the background of NWT development, present status and CFD researches being made on NWT.
