CFD Research Scientist
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) Research Scientists are experts in the use of computer simulations to predict and analyze the behavior of fluids. They use their knowledge of fluid dynamics to create mathematical models of fluid flow, which can then be used to simulate the behavior of fluids in a variety of applications, such as the design of aircraft, cars, and wind turbines.
Education and Training
The minimum educational requirement for CFD Research Scientists is a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, or a related field. However, most CFD Research Scientists have a master's degree or PhD in CFD or a related field. Some CFD Research Scientists also have a background in computer science or mathematics.
In addition to their formal education, CFD Research Scientists must also have a strong understanding of the following:
