The first think I'd like to post is really the culmination of years of work in high school. While I am continuing to pursue the topics of CFD and hybrid rocket propulsion, these are the first papers I really have to show for it. Along these lines, I have developed numerous related Fortran and Matlab codes which I will be giving you access to as well. In fact, having this blog might even motivate me to turn many of my scripts and functions into GUIs or executable files. Let me know if you would like this.
Upon visiting Purdue and taking his Fluid Mechanics class my first semester, I became friendly with Dr. Steven Collicott and shared these papers with him. Passing the one about gas dynamics along to Dr. Gregory Blaisdell, I was offered a research position this summer as a part of the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship! Of course, I happily accepted the offer and will be studying the application of high order Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (WENO) schemes in conjunction with centralized compact methods for the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of supersonic turbulent flows. I will definitely be keeping you posted about this, since it is just that awesome.
