Aerodynamic simulation has reached a level of sufficient maturity, that not only benchmark problems are solved easily, but real application data can be delivered even for such complex configurations like rotorcraft. Leaving behind generic cases like driven cavity or isotropic turbulence and moving on to actual engineering, several fields more or less remotely related to aerodynamics have to be taken into account to provide accurate and reliable value. This is less a matter of ingenious invention, but much more so a careful selection of usable procedures for problems identified to matter, and mostly hard work, putting the pieces together and shaking all the wrinkles out.
