The current and future situation of CWE (Computational Wind Engineering) is reviewed from the following viewpoints ; 1) topics treated, 2) utilization of commercial code (software), 3) incompleteness of CWE, 4) remaining research subjects, 5) prediction accuracy, 6) new fields of CWE application, etc. Firstly, new tendencies within CWE application are indicated. Next, the over-attention being given to the application field and the lack of attention to the fundamental problems, including prediction error analysis are pointed out. Lastly, the future trend of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) applications to wind engineering design are discussed.
