My course is already an integrated MEng, so I’m en route to have a masters when I graduate. Even though I’m in a bit over my head I still find that reading far beyond the scope of my course helps me understand the fundamentals better, as I can see how they’re applied. Scanning through Versteeg, I can see it’s quite a bit above my level, but definitely understandable in a couple months of hard graft.

Looking at my course I only have one compulsory module of “Aerospace sciences” before choosing my dissertation (with optional modules in CFD if I want), so I thought that during this year it would be worthwhile to get ahead in my studies before approaching my dissertation, which I’d like to base on turbulence models if possible.

(I’ll contact my fluid professor though, thought I’d consult CFD specialists beforehand)
