CFD methods for unsteady flow simulations are reviewed in this paper,including moving grid generation techniques and unsteady numerical methods.Based on the topology of computational grids,two types of unsteady numerical methods are discussed,e.g.the methods based on structured grids and unstructured/hybrid grids,respectively.Their advantages and drawbacks are analyzed with regard to efficiency,robustness for complex geometries and other features.In the framework of structured grids,several moving grid techniques are reviewed,including the rigid moving structured grid approach,the deforming structured grid technique with trans-finite interpolation,overlapping moving structured grid technique,and patched moving structured grid technique.Then some unsteady numerical methods on structured grids are discussed in the systems of inertial and non-inertial coordinates.In addition,the discretization schemes in temporal direction and the Geometric Conservation Law(GCL)are emphasized for unsteady simulations on moving grids.In the context of unstructured/hybrid grids,overlapping unstructured grid technique,re-meshing unstructured grid technique, node-relaxation approach based on 'Spring analogy' and Delaunay mapping are reviewed and compared.And, a combined dynamic unstructured/hybrid grid method developed by the authors is suggested,which is a kind of coupled method of‘Spring' relaxation,Delaunay mapping and local re-meshing.The GCL approach,the convergence acceleration methods,and numerical schemes for unsteady incompressible flows are discussed for unsteady flow solvers on unstructured/hybrid grids.Some examples and applications performed by the authors are given at the end of the paper.
