This volume contains 20 papers presented at the Sixth International Nobeyama Workshop on the New Century of Computational Fluid Dynamics, Nobeyama, Japan, April 21-24, 2003. The Nobeyama Workshop focuses on predicting the next one hundred years of development of Fluid Dynamics, accounting for the current status and future trends of high performance computation and communication. The papers cover computational electromagnetics, astrophysical topics, CFD research and applications in general, large-eddy simulation, vortical flows, mesh generation topics, visualization, DNA computing, multidisciplinary simulation and optimisation, as well as algorithmic developments. The Workshops are known for the informal and concentrated atmosphere of in-depth discussion thanks to all the efforts of Prof. Kunio Kuwahara at ISAS, Japan. In celebration of his 60th birthday, this workshop was dedicated to him.

Zusammenfassung
It is a joyful and ?tting moment that we, the friends, colleagues and suppo- ers of Prof. Kunio Kuwahara, dedicate this Workshop to Prof. Kuwahara. We gathered in late April of 2003 in the tranquility of Nobeyama mountain resorttocommemoratethe60thbirthdayofProf.Kuwaharawhichhadfallen in November, 2002. IntheculturalbackdropofEastAsia,the60thbirthdaycarriesadditional signi?cance. Looking back on the occasion of Kan-re-ki (the 60th birthday), a man is supposed to have accomplished something of meaningfulness and value. With these undertones, it will be a useful exerciseto recount the spl- did accomplishments of Prof. Kuwahara. The major professional achievements of Prof. Kuwahara may be c- pressed into two main categories. First and foremost, Prof. Kuwahara will long be recorded as the front-line pioneer in using numerical computations to tackle complex problems in ?uid mechanics. His unquenching zeal in com- tation and utilization of computers is unmatched throughout the globe. His infatuation with the Supercomputers of 1980s and 1990s is now a legend in the ?uid dynamics communities. He continues to stand tall on the leading edge of computational ?uid mechanics research and industrial applications. In short, Prof. Kuwahara has ?lled in a chapter in the history of modern ?uid dynamics research.
