    When is the distinction between science fields applicable?

    I didn't have a good answer either way. So I thought I would ask. Also never have personally heard nuclear engineers work with nuclear particles of anything higher than MeV range or talk about astrophysical gamma ray spectroscopy despite seeming qualified. Or heard about electrical engineers...

    When is the distinction between science fields applicable?

    Something I have been thinking about and don't really have a good answer to. For context, let's take physics and engineering for example. From my understanding, a very rough definition of physics would be the study of naturally occurring physical phenomena and understanding how they work...

    Computational, Theoretical, and Experimental Research: A Comparison

    I wasn't really sure what term(s) to use. I kept typing in computational research and it just showed me CS related results (not journal of computational "x" as suggested by astro and you). Regarding my OP, I wasn't sure what details to add earlier. I think hutch and astro helped a fair bit...

    Computational, Theoretical, and Experimental Research: A Comparison

    Hi, I understand there is computational research as well as completely theoretical research compared to experimental research. I was curious about what they are like. Could anyone point out some good papers? Thanks.

    Looking for basic theory on mixing of gases

    It's to figure out how long I want the pipe segment to be in my CFD simulation so that I don't make a long segment adding unnecessary spatial meshing. The real world setup the simulation is based on does not have provisions for applying the methods in that thread so no unfortunately. Thanks for...

    Looking for basic theory on mixing of gases

    Hi, In my situation, I am dealing with two ideal gases traveling down a pipe at the same bulk velocities. I am only considering a 1-D treatment at the moment and I would like to find out at which point the two gases should be considered a well mixed, homogeneous mixture. Would anyone know...

    What statistics services/platforms do you use that help you in life?

    Cool! Could you give names of these online services, if possible?

    What statistics services/platforms do you use that help you in life?

    I encountered a website with statistics for a large number of video games, specifically regarding their availability across various platforms, their sales over time and some other things and methods to visualize them I found this really helpful. Might there be other services like this that...

    Anyone know a reactor physics book better than Duderstadt and Hamilton?

    I think something that covers LWRs would be sufficient. That's what D&H seems to cover mostly and that's pretty much what I'm looking for. I don't mind minor excursions to other types but D&H seems to do only that and I'm fine with that.

    Curious about how you've seen research work out

    Something I've seen in nuclear materials research is that all of them are basically, I have a material, I am going to shoot energetic particles at it, I am going to record the numbers, take some before and after pictures and talk about what I saw. It does make sense that you would research like...

    Anyone know a reactor physics book better than Duderstadt and Hamilton?

    I really like the book for how much it covers. There's not a single topic that's missed that is relevant to nuclear reactor design/analysis. Often other books can miss a topic or two. It's just that the style is not to the point and often time is wasted talking about things that are irrelevant...

    Gaining Access to MCNP: University of Tehran Researchers' Journey

    I am aware of that. I'm just surprised that an Iranian organization was able to get access to it. It ultimately remains at the discretion of ORNL as to whether someone can get it or not, as I understand it.

    Gaining Access to MCNP: University of Tehran Researchers' Journey

    I was reading papers on neutron flux traps. Some people in the University of Tehran used MCNP to determine effectiveness of different neutron moderators. Context out of the way, my question is regarding the situation. How did researchers paid by an organization like the University of Tehran get...

    Possible to network in one's field while learning new science?

    Was he your advisor or did you take a course from him at any point?
