Apologies for the quick and dirty question, but I was wondering if a computational fluid dynamics analysis of the flow inside a rocket's combustion chamber and nozzle area would be regarded as an analysis of the chamber's/nozzle's internal ballistics. Looking up internal ballistics on wiki, it...

Thanks timthereaper, very helpful info. I'll be sure to contact some professors in the coming months (I think I'll ask my questions once the mass of emails they get close to registration time cools down a little).

Sorry for the late reply, work's been a little intense these last few weeks! Earlier in the year I had a look at many US universities offering graduate studies in aerospace/mechanical engineering and thought I might be able to bypass the 4 years needed to attain a mech/aero engineering degree...

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm in a bit of a predicament as I'm looking to go back and study in South Africa, since (1) I will be able to pay for my studies without taking on a loan and (2) I'm South African (although I do have dual British/South African nationality), but there are no...
