wrote some stuff for laminar flow in the 80's running on DEC-VAX 780 systems, but cfd is too much for me... let alone HPFCC 8^) i'd love to see some of the code though

Same here -- gave up the same year.
It's not that the new languages are bad, it's that a lot of them weren't necessary. In 1998, I was hired to convert a suite of programs from VB5 to VB6 (?). In the process, we were to convert the functions into objects.
I set about learning what these newfangled "objects" were and completed the project. It was judged a huge success -- all the programs worked just as they had before except, of course, they were slower.
Heh. Time marches on. I didn't. No point.
FORTRAN was, is and always be the standard for computational programming, and here is a great FORTRAN-15 video that proves just that...

Thanks, a nice video.
..and the slides are here as well http://insidehpc.com/2017/02/tutorial-towards-exascale-computing-fortran-2015/
NASA is holding a contest featuring a prize purse of up to $55,000. It’s the sort of app dev challenge that would look good on any résumé - if you know FORTRAN, that is. And computational fluid dynamics, too.
Static is you fiend.
Fixed.

In that case you can request a download of FUN3D here https://software.nasa.gov/software/LAR-18968-1
