Hi all,
I have a B.Sc. in Mechanical engineering, a M.Eng in aeronautical engineering and I am currently looking for a topic for my Ph.D. I've been working in "conventional" CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) for almost 4 years now and I really think it's time to move on beyond the Navier-Stokes equation. I've always been interested in astrophysics, cosmology, and relativity. and I was searching for some ideas to couple CFD (perhaps kinetic models, magnetohydrodynamics MHD, Boltzmann equ., or even Navier-Stokes) with one of these topics. I didn't really commit much of a time in searching of topics but I was wondering if some of the experienced people in Astrophysics and modern physics may share some thoughts with me.
I know that I seem like a refugee from the engineering camp seeking Asylum in the physics camp :) but I really believe that engineering and physics are very interdisciplinary that sometimes it's difficult to draw a solid line between them. I believe that I am lying somewhere in the boundary between them (if such boundary even exists)
