I'm a UK student currently studying for a doctorate in engineering. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a huge part of my current research. But my background (my undergraduate and master's) is in chemical engineering. With the exeption of a four-day introductory course, I have no formal education in CFD, or with numerically* solving partial differentail equations (PDE) generally, which is not something chemical engineers generally do at the u-grad level in much detail. So I'm looking to start this blog to engage the subject and show a bit of initiative in learning it, to practice writing about CFD, and hopefully to help other people out by providing useful titbits for the beginner in CFD. A lot of what I want to cover will be obvious to many with a taught background & experience in CFD, (maybe any readers that fall into this catagory can help me out if you spot any mistakes or have any suggestions :) ? ). CFD Yourself will act as a general notebook on my journey teaching myself in CFD, I don't plan to follow any predefined structure or schedule, and I'm just going to blog about what pops into my head.
CFD Yourself will be about:
- Engaging the subject of CFD
- Generating titbits of basic info on CFD
- Getting into the online community
Alright, so I hope you enjoy my blogging !
* a quick-flick through my old u-grad coursenotes reveals I did infact cover the algebra of PDEs, but that was six years ago, (doesn't time fly !).
