About the Project

This was an extensive Fluid Dynamic/engineering cross over that spanned over the last year and a half. The goal was to design and optimize a flume that could be used in testing fluid dynamic concepts. My research advisors began the project, and then when my research switched to a theoretical understanding of fluid dynamics, I took up the project with the DKC. They aided in increasing my abilities on a computer, like 3D design. They also gave me the resources and space to let this project flourish and bloom. Additionally, they provided a platform for me to blog and present my project to many creators.
