Recent Developments of the Navier Stokes Multi Block (NSMB) CFD solver.

The Navier Stokes Multi Block solver NSMB was initially developed in 1992 at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne, and from 1993 onwards in the NSMB consortium composed of different universities, research establishments and industries. Today NSMB is developed by IMF-Toulouse (IMFT), ICUBE (Strasbourg), University of Munchen (TUM, Germany), University of the Army in Munchen, Ecole Polytechnique Montreal, Airbus Defence and Space, RUAG Aviation and CFS Engineering. At the Aerospace Sciences Meeting in 1998 an overview of the developments of NSMB was given . Since then various papers have been published on NSMB, examples are . This paper will present several recent developments of NSMB and the use of NSMB for industrial test cases.
