Seminal papers in CFD
 

Could you please list a few of the seminal papers in the field of CFD?

Thanks

Start with,

Harlow, F. H., & Welch, J. E. (1965). Numerical Calculation of Time‐Dependent Viscous Incompressible Flow of Fluid with Free Surface. Physics of fluids, 8, 2182.

Thank you Mr Carroll

Seminal papers in CFD
 

CFD is divided into 3 parts: pre-processing, processing and post-processing

From my experience, the field of "processing" is huge - there are papers dedicated to:

1) initial conditions affecting a solution.
2) boundary conditions affecting a solution
3) given physical initial and boundary conditions, different solver algorithms that produce different solutions

What I'm looking for are seminal papers related to algorithm development in CFD. The paper by Harlow and Welch was really helpful in understanding the thinking that went behind the development of the MAC model.

I was looking for such papers, and specifically papers related to turbulence modelling (how the different RANS models came about, why they came about, how they compare with each other, etc)

I was wondering if you could let me know of any such papers - preferably seminal - in the field of turbulence modelling in CFD.

Thanks
