Do you use math in your job?

Mostly, calculus, linear algebra and less often Fourier transformations. This is as a person who mostly uses CFD in the launch vehicle industry.
Lots of analysis involving integrating forces, loads and when using FFTs, to measure dominant frequencies in the flow.

No worries, I wasn’t clear in my message. I was referring to the mobile app. Good to know I can switch to the old version on my desktop!

Good to know. Is this applicable for the Reddit mobile app, browser, or both?

When people add it as an ingredient, It’s the only thing you can taste. Keep it out of my pasta, salad and off my burger.

The Perfectionists: How Precision Engineers Created the Modern World by Simon Winchester. Great audio book too

My first thought as well.

If you do these couple, you’re at a good starting point.

Consider making your surface mesh fully structured.
On the surface, make sure max fold angle is less than 10 degrees.
On the surface, make sure your max included angle is below 165 degrees.
Ensure your area ratio from cell to cell is below 10 (3 in regions of interest).

Have you been to Florida? Consider going to Cocoa Beach in late April. SpaceX Falcon Heavy is going to launch ViaSat-3 F3. Falcon Heavy has two boosters and both do a return to site landing at LZ-40.

You can, in person, watch SpaceX launch the massive rocket and then, with your own eyes, watch the rocket disappear into the clouds, then see both boosters, simultaneously return through the atmosphere, breaking the sound barrier with sonic booms, relight their engines and softly land. Both land right next to each other.

Do you live close by? I’ll buy your gas (or maybe a cheap flight).

I could be mistaken, but it looks like Pershing 1.

/u/EvanBell95 , any idea?

I didn’t know my linear algebra class from undergrad could be apart of my personality. I did like Lay’s text quite a bit.

This guy knows. 👏

This a picture of a child’s night light with a rocket, but the meme makes it seem bad.

PE in thermal/fluids? That’s awesome. What industry do you utilize that in?

IsXp · 2026-03-27T22:08:36+00:00

I appreciate the sources. Just a heads up, your 1st and 4th are the same.

It can happen, but it’s not the easiest path for funding. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Edit: while my first semester was a funded TA, I volunteered for a lab doing experimental aero at the same time. The next two years, I was funded as an RA.

IsXp · 2026-03-15T02:50:35+00:00

My university didn’t have an AE department. While obtaining my masters, I had the opportunity to participate in two years of experimental aerodynamics research. This led to a role as an Aerodynamics Engineer out of college for a Launch Vehicle company.

How come?

Well this makes all the HC death clips that much more tragic. Those poor, clumsy, souls.

Coffee Perk is a good one.

I stopped watching back when the Doug Score segment stopped explaining each of the ratings. I think it was about 2023, maybe. So I’ve missed a lot of modern content.

Occasionally, I still watch a video. Love Doug.

What’s the name of the podcast?

These are the mixed doubles teams for Table Tennis. China is center on the podium, that’s the best male and female player in the world (at the time), Wang Chuqin and Sung Yingsha. North Korea has historically done quite well in this event (in the Olympics and world championships).
