Abstract
Fundamental aspects of spectral methods are introduced. Recent
developments in spectral methods are reviewed with an emphasis on
collocation techniques. Their applications to both compressible and
incompressible flows, to viscous as well as inviscid flows, and also to
chemically reacting flows are surveyed. The key role that these methods
play in the simulation of stability, transition, and turbulence is
brought out. A perspective is provided on some of the obstacles that
prohibit a wider use of these methods, and how these obstacles are being
overcome.
