If you are using the tool to find out interesting stuff in your subject, the tool can well use older methods. In urban climate and wind engeneering many use computational methods for solving fluid flow developed in the 1970s to 1990s. There is huge iterature threafter, but you don't need the most recent methods of computational fluid dynamics to find out interesting results. The older ones still work and often converge to the correct result. | |
