Question for CFD programmers

Renato

Dear friends

Most of the CFD codes are based on efficient solution methods, or at least should be based on... . As the evolution of the programming languages the OOP (Object Oriented Programming) paradigm has been dragging several CFD researchers to develop your codes in OOP languages such as C++, so I would like to hear some opinions and experiences about the following questions:

- Could CFD codes be implemented efficiently; with parallelism, vectorization, pipelining, cache reuse, etc ; in a OOP based paradigm?

- How long Fortran language will survive among engineering researchers?

Thanks for your attention

Renato.
