Symbolic manipulation and computational fluid dynamics
Patrick J. Roache, Stanly L. Steinberg · AIAA Journal · 1984
This paper is divided into three sections. The first section is a brief present presentation of the powerful capabilities of the symbolic manipulation code MACSYMA developed at MIT. The second section presents results recently achieved by the authors using symbolic manipulation on the problem of three-dimensional bodyfitted coordinates. The third part of the paper surveys previous uses of symbolic manipulation in computational fluid dynamics and related areas, and potential future uses of the code.
