Challenges Spring 2009
Training:
It seems worthwhile to have a session with Wengi (and other potential members) before winter break covering:
- automatic generation of scripts in GAMBIT
- UDFs in FLUENT
- methodology of modeling
Requirements for future members:
Knowledge of FLUENT, GAMBIT, UDFs and scripts is very important for members interested in modeling the flocculation tank. These skills can be learned by taking MAE courses such as intermediate fluid dynamics, or by taking self-guided training modules available online. Someone without a background in CFD will find it difficult to get up to speed in GAMBIT/FLUENT.
Number of people needed for the team:
The team needs at least 2 people to be sucessful. Collaboration with peers helps solve coding and conceptual problems as they arise.
