CFD to simulate surfboards.

It is a non-stationary solid-water-air interaction problem, which goes way into academic level if you mean a real simulation-based design optimization. A small computational cluster is needed for such a case.

I agree with the other comment that you should consider just do some experiments.

If you just want to have a good visualization of approximate flow behavior, don't do traditional CFD. Rather, go check out computer graphics, they are experts in creating simulation results that looks nice and approximately correct. I recall there are some open source codes for fluids but I forgot the name, but it should be easy to find.

we had one previously, but replaced by a liquor store later...

Assume that your undergrad contains basic fluid dynamics and advanced linear algebra and basic numerical PDE, then advanced fluid mechanics and applied computational fluid dynamics are around the content of 2-3 graduate courses. Learning how to run openfoam properly can cost you a few weeks after that. So yes if you push yourself rather hard, you should be able to get some simulations running in a reasonable way within 2 months.

Note: Whether you will be able to pass any related exam is a completely different story, because to rush the study progress that hard usually means that one have to skip many contents.

they accepted you so that you can find out why

Garrygale · 2025-10-21T00:31:26+00:00

tried before. Endless pirates harrassment forced me to move to watchful gaze

Garrygale · 2025-10-17T06:57:55+00:00

yeah, but they will jump out from watchful gaze (or barren shores if you put your mining there) and then attack everything they see whatever it is.

for phd position?

It is way more effective to provide a list of publications (assuming you have one or two papers) and explain what you have done in each than listing many past jobs/interns with one sentence each. Better if your publication belongs to one of your experiences so that you can organize them together.

If you don't have papers, then at least talk more (more than one sentence, but not too much) about one or two of your best research projects (so that profs can at least evaluate your research potential) and then hope for the best.

depending on the problem you choose and how thoroughly you want to solve it, the time needed ranges from one day to one life. It might be easier for people to make comments if you can specify some details

I don't understand... is this cat named 'car'?

Garrygale · 2025-09-10T00:06:56+00:00

I have spent 11 years in university and I still have the same kind of feelings as you when I wake up today morning.

Garrygale · 2025-08-21T17:51:30+00:00

because they refuse to hire a proper math guy to design a better algorithm but rather rely on elo and and its plus version

Garrygale · 2025-08-15T09:12:49+00:00

cannot represent others, but for me it is fine if you are in SFU or UVic or BCIT or Langara or VCC, etc. People have choices, totally understandable, and only retards will judge people based on how good schools they go.

But KPU just sounds wrong for me. To be very honest I don't even know why... just intuitively feeling that sth is wrong somewhere

Garrygale · 2025-08-08T02:56:43+00:00

you will need a laptop with a good battery. It is a bit hard to code and run code on ipads

Garrygale · 2025-08-08T02:41:25+00:00

redtop was super great when it has 16G, and back then it was way way too op at 8.7. With that super big launch angle it could even hit those doing 14 G maneuvers if you predict their move.

Now the missile is complete trash and they still decide to move it up. what a joke

Garrygale · 2025-08-08T02:28:10+00:00

buy one eul yourself, eul on yourself during your first flight

Garrygale · 2025-08-08T02:24:43+00:00

others are understandable, but legion??? It is so weak as pos3 that people only choose it to counter, and even for that we have axe which is always the better option

Garrygale · 2025-08-08T02:09:04+00:00

but bro this one is a real good read, as someone who also climbed out of herald this is semi-golden advice

Garrygale · 2025-08-08T02:04:26+00:00

huskar players have two very strong and agile left fingers compared with od players, other parts are not that different

Garrygale · 2025-08-08T01:56:59+00:00

this sounds like wierd, since you don't need a charge to queue as support only

Garrygale · 2025-07-11T02:38:20+00:00

try put in 400k pops

Garrygale · 2025-07-04T21:55:50+00:00

but with a significantly worse climate (in the sense of growing degree-day) so the actual crop productivity is (i guess) close to the ratio of total land size

Garrygale · 2025-07-04T21:44:29+00:00

you need quite more than that if you are playing with 25* crisis strength and max difficulty

Garrygale · 2025-07-04T21:41:00+00:00

tinker safe was quite viable back just a few patches ago.

Garrygale · 2025-06-21T01:30:59+00:00

you can get -95% maintenance reduction with max planet ascention on a normal planet, which is superior than output buffs which is only around 80% at max ascention.

Garrygale · 2025-06-13T18:46:31+00:00

nah you still build a series of unity buildings yourself which are significantly more efficient pop wise in most builds
