[@sadegh5429]

Thank you, professor! I sincerely appreciate the time and effort you put into making these lectures

[@SAEMiller]

Thank you for your kind feedback. I hope that they help students get started making practical predictions.

[@VinayNandurdikar]

Really insightful introduction to CFD, looking forward to diving deeper into the course!

[@robertarusso7379]

I'm loving this class. Thanks for sharing your teaching.

[@SAEMiller]

You're very welcome! :)

[@sagar11222]

Thank you for such an informative series on CFD. Hope to see more such videos from you.

[@1999hondacivicdx]

Hi professor, thank you very much for publishing these videos. I’ve been working as a mechanical engineer for 3 years and hoping to expand my knowledge and skills to pursue a career in aerospace!

[@SAEMiller]

That is great. Aerospace is a great profession - but very competitive.

[@danialdadashi3805]

Thanks, professor for sharing this perfect cfd course

[@DeaDpaN-2]

CFD, my dream crouse! Thx Internet I can learn from prof even I am in China. Thank you prof

[@wareshubham]

I am myself a beginner CFD engineer, your videos are so cool to clarify and solidify CFD concepts thanks for the hardwork making this video.

[@SAEMiller]

Thanks. Just drew from my experience of learning and teaching CFD from a researcher perspective. I'm happy to hear that you found them helpful.

[@mihiranganipun9023]

very helpful. keep it professor. good luck .

Thank you Sir, from an Aerospace Engineer who is crazy in luv with CFD(external aerodynamics)....frm Zanzibar Tanzania❤❤❤

[@SAEMiller]

You are very welcome. Enjoy!

[@mhurraranadeem]

Would you mind to help me in this also ? I need assignment realted to this on new idea ,please humble request

[@jidbantuas1222]

Hello Mr. Miller! I am a Mechanical Engineering student, and I am interested on pursuing CFD as my profession in the future. I will watch this whole course. Thank you!

[@SAEMiller]

You're welcome.

[@MrJOSSIMMAR]

Thanks profesor. I'm investigate turbulence with CFD, this videos will help a lot.

[@SAEMiller]

Thanks. I like your videos - nice to see some math online.

[@ofloresvazquez]

I'm writing a thesis about CFD on tall buildings, and this information is very useful. I'm wondering if I can cite your course.

[@SAEMiller]

Yes, absolutely

[@فتوحمحمد-ز3د]

Thank you very much, Doctor, for this wonderful content, but I did not find the materials on your page. If you send me the link, I can get them.

[@DrAtomics]

Going to be doing undergraduate research with a fluid dynamics professor in MHD (MagnetoHydroDynamics), need to know how to do some CFD to help with that research. Thanks for providing this knowledge.

[@SAEMiller]

You are very welcome.

[@YuS-n1e]

I just started my job in CFD, this will be very helpful. Please share the link all the handouts and reading material.

[@apocalypt0723]

Thank you for these videos.

[@abdelilahel1336]

Thank You Sir for This Wonderful explanation. I adore your Teaching Method. 👍

[@samferrer]

This is awesome!!!

[@wangcrazychannel]

It helps me a lot!! btw, UF is my dream school!!!!😉

[@SAEMiller]

I'm glad to hear that. UF does have some good qualities - but remember there are great professors and universities all over. Besides, it is what you do now that matters, not where you are from. Thanks again and good luck!

[@wangcrazychannel]

@@SAEMiller Yes😌 I will keep hard-working🤗

[@TakinKhorasanchian]

thank you

[@oliversantos9331]

Good day Prof. Miller! Thank you very much for this series of lectures. May I know how to get access to the reading materials? I mean to which specific website should I visit to have copies of the materials?

[@ema-ki5ul]

Does anybody know if this course was undergaduate or master's / grad course? and in case, where to find that info? (I couldn't find any on the website of University of Florida)

[@SAEMiller]

It's a senior elective.

[@renoldsnumber6569]

can I take this course if I can,t use solidworks program

[@adebayoemmanuel911]

Is it possible for someone who studied Applied mathematics as an Undergraduate to major in CFD for masters and Ph.D? Am from Nigeria.

[@SAEMiller]

CFD isn't typically a degree, but is a course of study or specialization in almost all Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering departments in the United States. That being said, people with applied mathematics backgrounds are always welcome in the field because it amounts to a specialized area of numerical solutions of partial differential equations.

[@adebayoemmanuel911]

@@SAEMiller Thank you very much, Sir! I would keep studying until I see a scholarship to study aerodynamics in the US. So as to fulfill my desired dream. Thanks once again.

[@chaseashby3510]

Happy to see this comment. I'm completing a Ph.D. in applied mathematics and my work is in CFD. This field can be very mathematically intensive, which opens the door for us mathematicians to join in on the fun

[@sohambhadra7939]

Hello Mr. Miller I have a MS in Mechatronics Engineering with a passion for Machine Learning and CFD can I make a career out of these? Please suggest

[@SAEMiller]

I feel as though many people are focusing on machine learning with CFD right now. It is part of the future. What will it hold? Nobody knows.

[@hathakker802]

Can you kindly recommend on how one should learn ANSYS fluent ?

[@SAEMiller]

ANSYS Fluent has a ton of free material for students. They also have a free student version that is limited to some number of grid points... e.g. 500k. I suggest you download it and look at their well made tutorials. Good luck!

[@sanikapatole4187]

What is the class website ? Can you pls share it again

[@SAEMiller]

Right now, it's on Canvas for students at University of Florida. I am planning on making a public one for the public in the future.

[@tlotlokeatlholetswe9212]

I'm interested in learning CFD what are the pre-requisites of this course Prof?

[@SAEMiller]

I would always recommend a basic course in fluid dynamics. Most students have also taken some basic calculus course and numerical methods. But this is focused on practical prediction. Good luck!

[@TJ-ot3zt]

Sir, By learning this course can we use applications of CFD in automobile vehicles? Because I want to pursue my masters in Automotive engineering.

[@SAEMiller]

Generally, the class is focused on aerospace, however, the concepts can be applied to the automotive industry.

[@erickgomez7775]

So in Soviet Russia analytical methods were realatively cheaper

[@SAEMiller]

Soviet engineers were paid less than American counterparts. I suppose, yes, if we quantify expense financially. If on the other hand, we focus on human hours or time, then I think it would be relatively the same. I would also joke that Soviet engineers had better access to high quality poetry.
