Apologies for the silence. I completely agree that one must work towards being recognised and provide useful contributions before retrieving the prize of doing more exotic work (not necessarily basic research, just more fundamental applied research as was said).
The intent of this post is to...
Hi, currently my job doesn't satisfy my interests as it doesn't especially utilise the skills or knowledge obtained from my PhD. Not only that, but I feel my PhD research itself was very systems based and top level (since it was industrially sponsored) and since then I've been hoping to enter a...
I'm not sure if this relates to you career agenda, but I am personally publishing an average amount during my PhD, but saving enough material for at least two publications after the PhD. This is because if I take an industrial job, I can still publish steadily so that when I find an academic job...
Just to add, I am very much appreciative of the research I have been able to do, although I never mentioned that I was being funded. But the key issue is not at present, but if I work for this large company. It's a shame that smaller companies tend not to have sufficient funds for the scientific...
I agree that treating work seriously is an important matter as it is provides our means to living, safety and satisfies our human interests. I personally have dedicated all my efforts to my work, which is why I feel I am able to question this issue in such a way. I also believe it is important...
Google sounds like a very considerate company! The company I work with does allow me some flexibility, although I am more concerned with my life after my Ph.D. when I need to consider working for them. I just value science and engineering far more than business, and I take my work more seriously...
I have spent the past three years conducting doctoral research within a university for a large gas turbine company. I have worked amongst many other Ph.D.'s in the same circumstance and have found the company employees to be, in general, *very* serious. I understand that the nature of the...
I would like to further my understanding in aerospace fluid dynamics as I'm hoping to apply to a fluid dynamics department that sways more towards scientific understanding, at an aero gas turbine company. I have recently read the book entitled Anderson's CFD; Basics with Applications, and I am...
I'm confused as to how this directly relates to my question?!? Maybe I've been hijacked...
If anyone has any understanding of energy conservation relating to electric currents and Lorentz forces I would very much appreciate your input. Cheers.
Thanks for the speedy response. How about when the magnetic field strength is increased to a huge amount whilst the current remains low?
Power = current * voltage = I V
I= Force/(magnetic field * arc length)
Warrington's formula for still air: V=28740*arc length/I^0.4
As current...
I understand that for a fixed massflow the minimum amount of power required to generate a thrust is: P = Massflow * ∫v dv = massflow *0.5* [v2^2 - v1^2]
However, is it possible to produce the same thrust with less power using the Lorentz force in an electromagnetic accelerator? If so, how can...
I am trying to understand how the Lorentz force affects bulk fluid motion when I have an applied electric field (y-axis), applied magnetic field (x-axis) and bulk fluid velocity (z-axis), all orthogonal to each other.
I understand that if the fluid was at rest, an electrostatic force would...

Is it usual to customise experiments in fluid dynamics and to what extent? I understand that lasers and imaging tools will be fairly untouchable by a fluid dynamicist, although does an experimental role require any 'tampering/customising of general system equipment i.e. rewiring/handy work...
