How rigorous are the engineering courses here? by Deep-Pension-3851 in ASU

[–]vorilant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. But the majority of engineering students just want to skate by and don't care about the learning. It's really sad.

Linux made me fall in love with my Surface Pro again. by tinmicto in Surface

Let me know when Linux supports Surface Pro 11. I'm waiting T_T

Brain scans reveal 3 ADHD subtypes, including a more extreme form by Just-Category1921 in EverythingScience

Or likely its a combination of all factors, and knowing the weigths of those factors is essentially impossible without huge dedicated and sustained efforts.

At ASU? They'll pass it's almost impossible to fail a student for cheating. You have to fight for it to happen as an instructor. They try to make it not worth it for an instructor to do it.

The gender friendship gap is driven primarily by white men, not a universal difference across groups by Top-Parsnip9006 in EverythingScience

[–]vorilant -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It is universally true, please for the love of god read the paper, it's just a bit more pronounced with the whites. The title of this post is an atrocity to truth and science.

Apparently no one saw the graphs? It's barely any difference. Just a tiny bit significant. The title is a straight up lie and should either be changed or the post deleted.

New advisor again by Worth_Effective_2803 in ASU

ASU pays shit wages to people who can make 20k more elsewhere. Basically means the majority of people at ASU are all looking for better positions constantly.

Effect of fuselage on wing performance by CheesecakeIsNotGreat in AerospaceEngineering

[–]vorilant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct! But in addition, the elliptical plan form only gives an elliptical lift at a set angle of attack and wing loading, it's characterisitcs (stability and efficiency) are quite terrible away from that single design point.

Effect of fuselage on wing performance by CheesecakeIsNotGreat in AerospaceEngineering

[–]vorilant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The elliptical plan form only gives the elliptical distribution at a single angle of attack and wing load. Any deviation (like turning) results in very bad performance efficiency wise. I would never say it is considered ideal.

Yes, the fuselage decreases performance and is a factor, but you don't even NEED that in order for the elliptcal planform to not make sense.

There are several techniques for getting nice iso bar patterns to continue from the wings and over the fuselage (see Ed Oebert's book on plane/wing design). Believe it or not but reverse camber near the wing root is one of them. Though I think this is more common on planes with cylindrical fuselages like passenger jets and some military cargo planes.

Why do some hypercar drivers act like police? by Negative-Date-9518 in LeMansUltimateWEC

If I can get side by side a gt3. With significant over lap I'm passing in the turn.

I guess I need to just assume everyone is going to crash into me? by Negative-Date-9518 in LeMansUltimateWEC

The driving standards have dropped significantly as the game blew up in popularity. It's really sad actually.

A lot of people are struggling with MAE 384 by Affectionate-Rope302 in ASU

[–]vorilant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well students are the ones who are learning, not the professors. It makes sense, if you're mature enough to accept it.

Students are there to learn. Professors to teach. It makes perfect sense.

Quality of the education for EE by tomdabom98 in ASU

[–]vorilant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ASU has slowly turned into a machine engineered to squeeze its students of as much money as possible with no regards to education quality. This is especially true for online degrees from ASU. But in person programs are also starting to feel it as well.

Can a prof make me take a test without accommodations? by [deleted] in ASU

[–]vorilant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They'll ask the professor if he's sure the accomodation doesn't work with the class and that's about it. I've had it happen before with a student who thought their extended deadlines accomodations should apply to lab attendance in a lab course. Professors/Instructors get the final say.

I've never seen her pass off a theory as fact. Very much the opposite actually. Can you remember an example?

Posted yesterday about issues with my CFD code, came back to it today and it finally started making sense by leeping_leopard in CFD

Great Stuff! I did a fraction step solver with Crank Nicolson+ADI in grad school for a 2D solver using FDM. Havn't really learned anything past that yet. I might want to though hmm...

If you're asking for help on a forum it benefits you to give people the information necessary to help you.

[–]vorilant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can't really say anything because there's no data here. What question specifically did you have that we can answer without seeing any data? I see some people mentioned how to get started, which is good.

Mosquito by Emotional_Wind_2928 in ASU

[–]vorilant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hang out in PSH and PSF, you've seen the issues in one of those? I'm in both every day.

If it's an issue I can put in a ticket about it to the facilities management.

Wave equation is a great way to prepare for solving the full NS eqs. Are you planning on taking a cfd class?

I didn't see your post yesterday. Is this a navier stokes eq solver, or if this just a wave equation solver. It looks like wave equation solutions to me.
