Programs in Computational Physics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on recommendations for good programs in computational physics, particularly for someone with a background in aerospace engineering and interests in computational fluid dynamics, computational electromagnetics, applied mathematics, and high-performance computing. Several universities are highlighted, including the University of Southern California, Boston University, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, which offer strong programs in these fields. Additionally, Princeton's Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics and Stanford's Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering are suggested for those seeking a more mathematics-focused approach. The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) is mentioned as a reputable source for finding graduate programs in computational science, reinforcing the credibility of the institutions listed.

Hi all. This question has been asked previously on this forum but there was no reply I think. Which are the good programs for computational physics? I did (am doing) my Bachelor's and Master's in Aerospace Engineering from IIT Bombay. I got interested in CFD at first, but then my senior thesis is in Computational Electromagnetics. I am generally interested in Computational Physics, Applied Mathematics, High Performance Computing, etc.

Can someone suggest me good programs in above fields?

I'll bump this partially in hopes of seeing some answers myself.

Schools and programs I have been checking out for computational physics include: USC (http://cacs.usc.edu/) - they have a neat program where you can get a PhD in physics while earning an MS in computer science; BU (http://ccs.bu.edu/); Illinois: Urbana-Champaign (http://www.mcc.uiuc.edu/); as well as a couple specific groups at various schools, depending on research interests. For a more math-based approach, perhaps PACM at Princeton (http://www.pacm.princeton.edu/) or Stanford's iCME (http://icme.stanford.edu/).

Good luck!

Thanks both you guys.

One of the links I found myself:
"Graduate Programs in Computational Science" - http://www.siam.org/students/resources/cse_programs.php

If SIAM approves of those Institutions then you should feel better choosing anyone of those institutions as well. SIAM a trustworthy brand that publishes great books too.
 
TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
