Hi all! I defended my Ph.D. thesis back in 2019 and I also served as the creator and moderator for the subreddit r/FluidMechanics for a long time. I think with that I have gathered enough experience and courage to answer some of your queries. Some broad topics that I can answer questions on are:
- computation fluid mechanics
- scientific programming and HPC
- nonlinear shallow water equations
- statistical description of turbulence: spectra, energy budget etc.
- experimental methods: PIV
- stratified turbulence
- academia
- navigating your career pre- and post-Ph.D.
Ask away!
Very nice. Conda is a good one. I recommend checking out Snakemake since you already use Conda and Makefiles. It’s like Make but supercharged with Conda and Python. It makes sharing workflows easy and you don’t need to fool around with containers like with Singularity (which is great too, but has a steeper learning curve)
Cheers.
Edit: also be sure to check out Mamba. It’s a community fork of Conda and performs way better.
