what area of aerospace??

just finished my math undergrad with a good amount of physics and research on vortex rings. i enjoyed ode/pde/vector calc and would like to explore physical phenomena related to these areas. this leads me to aerospace.

at the graduate level, any suggestions on areas i may like? if nothing else do you know a resource on becoming familiar enough with basic areas ie plasma/control/thermodynamics...

please be specific.

thanks
 
Physics news on Phys.org


You may enjoy turbulence research based on some of that.
 


Gas turbines might interest you
 


thanks guys! i appreciate your advice and will look into those areas
 


Turbulence most likely. You could also study deep stall and vortex augmented lift.
 

Thread 'Space Stuff and Launch Info'

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
