During the Fall 2008 semester I have been working on the CFD team. I'm specifically working on simulating the flow field in the sedimentation tank to optimize the design. I spent the first week understanding the problem I'm going to solve (Problem Specification) and doing trade-off thinking on whether to adopt computational or experimental approach. I also learned to document my work with wiki. During the next 5 weeks, I completed a "quick-and-dirty" tutorial of CFD and FLUENT. I learned about the underlying fluid mechanics and numerical methods of CFD techniques, and practiced using Gambit and Fluent with basic simulation problems. And now I'm ready to jump in and create a first mesh. I 'm starting from simulating of a will start from simulating of 2D cross-section, and will work towards better approximation by iterations of trials.
