Many of us at Stevens have taken, are taking, or will take a course that involves fluid dynamics. These courses tend to be on the more challenging end, because fluids can behave in immensely complex ways, and it’s difficult even experimentally to understand this behavior, let alone build mathematical models to govern it or computational techniques to simulate it.
