Thesis Defense for MS in Engineering
Date:
These are the slides I presented during the defense of my Masters research and thesis. For this, I analyzed an existing high-order reconstruction algorithm for the finite volume method on unstructured meshes and then implemented it code. I verified the convergence orders and made performance measurements relative to existing methods. The impetus of this project was to study the suitability of the specific reconstruction technique for integration in the department’s flow solver codebase. Of particular interest was whether or not this method could resolve vortical structures while remaining computational tractable.
