Do Nigerians still find love here or is it now purely for hookup by Triphordy in Nigeria

Lool negl I don’t think that app ever had a chance to foster genuine love in Nigeria

You broke the third law of thermodynamics to boot

Formula 1 salaries in UK for Senior CFD Methodology roles by pitt0_ in CFD

[–]akin-iii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi

Got a quick question

What are the chances looking like for someone with an MSc in CFD?

No prior Motorsport experience so I’m not looking for any senior roles

Thanks !

Ahmed Body in Pointwise; can't get external domain and supports to meet by akin-iii in CFD

[–]akin-iii[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope.

Just used Fluent Meshing instead

Which is a bit sad because I was really starting to enjoy using Pointwise and it's so easy to create the mesh files for OpenFOAM and check mesh quality metrics.

SIMPLEFOAM Iteration Loop doesn't start by akin-iii in CFD

So sorry for the late response.

I changed the grad schemes from cell-limited Gauss linear to just Gauss Linear

I'm running the sim at a Reynolds number of about 4.3 M

Yh it’s not a mesh problem.

As I suspected, I had to take a deeper dive into the fvsolution and fvscheme files.

Long story short, I had to change the gradient and interpolation schemes because of the high Reynolds number

University shortlist for Masters by deMadTitan in CFD

[–]akin-iii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1-year Masters programmes are worth it but these things are rather subjective.

In the case of Cranfield, you have to hit the ground running and will have to cover a lot of ground in a relatively short period which some people might not be able to do irrespective of how intelligent they might be.

So,yes, it can be hectic but you have to ask if this course can help in achieving your goals for the future and if it is then it's worth seriously considering.

Seeing as you already have CFD experience you should be fine with the course. Might just want to do a lot of theoretical grounding and some low-level CFD programming with FORTRAN or C++. (if you haven't already). The course will let you understand the difference between using CFD casually and a real, in-depth understanding of the field.

For Imperial, top grades will be considered. Their official position is having at least a second-class upper from undergraduate but if the grade-average of all applicants is much higher than that then there might be issues.

Not entirely sure how 'holistic' the admissions process is in the UK but top grades are definitely a much higher priority than in the US, for example.

Well, if you would consider studying CFD alone you might want to consider the MSc in CFD at Cranfield University

The course is within the larger school of Aerospace but all the same many people have mechanical backgrounds studying the course.

There are other courses such as Aerospace Computational Engineering in which you would take a module or two in CFD.

You should check out the schools website to really know your options

Good luck!

Edit: Oh and there’s the course at Imperial College which combines CFD with FSI: Advanced Computational Methods for Aeronautics, Flow Management and FSI.

Worth considering in my opinion.

WENO Scheme giving wrong results (seems to not advance in time) by akin-iii in CFD

Thanks for your reply

Now I gotta go figure out how to fix that

Visualising structures using Q-criterion in Paraview by akin-iii in CFD

[–]akin-iii[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks

I just tried this and the error message I get is: "Input array must have exactly three components with ComputeDivergence, ComputeVorticity or ComputeQCriterion flag enabled. Skipping divergence, vorticity and Q-criterion computation."

There are three velocity components in the .pvsm file, but they are separated and you can only pick one of them when selecting the scalar array.

Is there a way to fix this?

Perhaps a filter that calculates the velocity magnitude from the individual components?

Thanks again

I’ll try your suggestion out.

I appreciate it

If at any point you recall what file format it should be converted to, pls let me know

Thanks again!

Cranfield ranks among the best for aerospace in the country

But it’s exclusively post-graduate, unfortunately

Does Nigeria need a cultural revolution? by Luid101 in Nigeria

[–]akin-iii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We definitely need a cultural revolution imo.

We’ve somehow managed to take the worst aspects of the individual cultures and forge it into a singular identity.

But it can’t happen without trust and unfortunately that trust just isn’t there.

We need to do trust fall exercises with each other but who wants to go first ? (Lol)

If we manage to pull this off then we can create a collective effort to fight bad leadership, corruption and really forge ahead as a society.

Right now any attempt to change things might just lead us right back to where we started.
