MTCA09 aims to discuss the most recent ideas and methods in computational aerodynamics as well as problems that should be challenged for future progress in this field.

The scope of the workshop is outlined by the following main topics: (a) grid generation and solution grid adaptation and (b) the issues of implementation of higher order discretization schemes in computational aerodynamics.

Discussion and understanding of the topics above is crucial for development of a simulation tool for the generation of aerodynamic data for various flow regimes about realistic geometries. Thus lectures given at the workshop will discuss the theory behind computations as well as computational challenges arising in industrial applications.

The scientific chairman of the workshop is Prof Nigel Weatherill (University of Birmingham, UK). The honorary lecture will be given by Dr Forrester Johnson (The Boeing Company, USA). It is expected that other lectures will be delivered at the workshop by invited speakers who are world leading experts in computational aerodynamics.
