Aerodynamics By Hand: Designing The Airfoil Before CFD

The advent of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) revolutionised the way we design and optimise aircraft and analyse fluid flows.  It was proposed by Lewis Fry Richardson, who wanted a way to predict weather, when he published Weather Prediction by Numerical Processing in 1922. This involved having to solve partial differential
