Hi all,

Anybody out there who can recommend a good website for searching research Master's thesis? Just want to get an idea of the structure of the write up.

Thanks,

Mark.

Your university should specify the layout and structure from indexing to font. I am sure you will find something on your uni website.

I am the first student to do a cfd masters in this college, my project is cfd and combustion. So i was more interested in the layout of the cfd and combustion aspect, i.e. combustion and cfd, cfd techniques, etc. Any help is much appreciated.

Regards, Mark.

What I basically did was:

1. Summary (outlining objectives/findings)

2. Acknowledgements.

3. Table of Contents

4. Nomenclature

++++++++++++

5. Introduction: describe what CFD is, its uses and application ot present work. Describe your problem here.

6. Literature review: on papers of similar work, experimantal work (validation)

7. Solution procedure: CFD methods, Discretization, FVM, Solvers etc

8. Turbulence Modelling: (or combustion models in your case)from first principles describe the equations and solutiuon process, also address BL solution if appropriate.(you may need to discuss some of the chemistyr involved here)

9. Virtual Geometry: discuss how the geom was idealised and created in gambit (not too much detail), show some diagrams with and without mesh.

10. Boundary Conditions: self explanatory

++++++++++++++++++++

11. Results: slices, plots, pathlines etc for all your cases.

12. Discussion of results: whats going on, sources of error, mesh independence etc.

13. Conclusion:Bullet points of findings

14. Further consideration: perhaps some further research that could be carried out as a result of what you have found, or if you had more time

++++++++++++++++++++++++

15. References:

16. Appendix: any complex calculations you have done

I am work on a cfd analysis of a rotary kiln. In the Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland. As i am the first to do a cfd masters (that i know of anyway) in DIT i have to learn it the hard way with nothing to compare it to, so your advice is much appreciated. Where did you do your work?

Regards, Mark.

Hi Sri,

I am using Fluent to analysis an existing kiln to try and recommend improvements that could be made to optimise the fuel consumption.

Regards,

Mark.

Gavin,

It's pretty hard to get a cfd masters here alright, i was lucky. I was at the right place at the right time. But i was planning to go to leeds if i hadn't got this. Did you manage to get a job in cfd here in Ireland?

I had a look for a job in Ireland, but could not get one, there are many in the UK, all different applications, motorsport and process being most popular I think. CFD seems to be affiliated with Aero Eng in ireland i.e. LU and QUB, but unfortuantely we dont have much industry in that sector.
