Future in Fluid Mechanics

(IMHO) You should look into Vortex Science, note this art was suppressed during WWII

Google; Vortex Science

Viktor Schauberger and William Baumgartner

Robert A. Patterson+Implosion

A very simple answer to a simple question:

1) Do subscribe to an Hydraulic course at your college,
Hydraulic is relatively simple and water is the first fluid to study,
this is giving you a good background for every kind of liquid

2) Then move to areodynamic, gas and compressible fluid mechanics
this is essential both for ducts (indoor heating or cooling systems),
as well as machines (turbines), engines, or stand alone structures
(areoplanes as well as high buildings in the wind).

3) Pass to computer programs solving Navier Stockes formulas as well
as problems involving the viscosity and friction. Many finite element prgm.
have a module for this kind of simulations and design.
There is a very curious pubblications about the air flow aroud different of
golf bats which was done with finite elements technique .

3.1 ) a good mathematics course about differentials systems, analytical
and computer solution of them could help a lot.

Difficult to tell you that a specific aspect will have more future than another,
Vortexes is a good topic: vacuum cleaners without filter,
industrial separting processes,
recycle of waste,
combustion control . . . . . . etc.

good study young friend

Dear sir,

Thank you very much for your reply. But unfortunately we dont have a hydraulic course over here to start with. In that case how do i start with in this very vast field. Also do tell me what course in engineering mathematics will be of help in this field..

Hi,

young friend, in what part of U.S. are you living ?

if it is not too far from you I'd rather suggest a visit at Detroit at the Open Air Folk Museum ("The Henry Ford Collection") because over there you get an idea about history, technique and method:

you can see the Wright Brothers' wind chamber and Mr. Edison's and his assistant laboratory, to me the visit of this has been a great help to learn how to get new knowledge with limited resources. For engineers still their working way is a milestone.

Then further than general and superficial suggestions, it is difficult to give good directions without knowing where you are living and behaving, to choose the best courses it would be necessary to know the list of available studies: even if you have not specifically Hydraulics, may be there is a similar course of Physics.

So best thing is: USE THE RESOURCES YOU HAVE

Do choose a teacher, the most honest and open one, the one with whom you speak easier and understand better, during his next student receiving time go to visit him and explain him your desire and ideas.

Even if his matter is not related to Fluids and Physics he will surely help you to find the best address, the available ways to get your goal. If you know where you want to get, many will help you to get there.
