Generally speaking, this direction is good. Compared with most engineering majors, it belongs to the upper-middle level, and you won't worry about not finding a job, but it's not a major that makes a fortune. If you work hard for several years, you can understand the physical process, write a first-hand program, or have your own CFD code. These are hard skills. If the so-called CFD only uses off-the-shelf commercial software to calculate some colorful pictures, it is another matter. Geographically, let's start with China. There are still many companies doing CFD in China, with almost master's and doctoral degrees, mainly state-owned research institutes, steam turbines, aero-engines, automobile internal combustion engines and so on. In fact, foreign companies like GE don't have much R&D in China. In the United States, pansyCD adaptorconverge science, several large CFD software companies, is not bad. Other companies, such as GE, have also had poor performance in recent years. If Pratt & Whitney is laid off, there will be no green card. Both Percy and Ge have some famous school complexes, among which gate ch graduated from Purdue Cornell. Graham Goldie, technical director of pansy fluent, jumped ship last year and worked at converge for a year, then went to CD adaptor. . . Pansy is famous for its many products, but both CD and converge are developing rapidly now. The treatment is actually the same. This year's PhD, like converge, starts from 8-9w a year. The latter has a medium-term development of10,000, which is considered as a middle-class well-off level in the United States. Compared with the starting salary of Silicon Valley 10w, they are undergraduate masters, but the consumption level of these cad companies is not as high as that of California, so the quality of life is still good. The industry is still stable. The automobile industry is also a direction of CFD employment, but in recent years, the automobile industry in the United States is sluggish and unstable, and it is easy to lay off employees. For international students without green cards, there are even fewer job opportunities. From the direction: computational fluid dynamics has many different directions, such as pure fluid non-reactive flow, chemical combustion reaction flow, DNS, LES, RANS, calculation algorithm, grid method, and the differences in each direction are really quite large. As I said at the beginning, if you do algorithms, often write some large-scale programs, or have your own developed codes, after several years of master's or doctor's study, you can master hard skills, know physical concepts, have a solid mathematical foundation and write programs, and your future work prospects should be good. If the so-called CFD only uses some ready-made commercial software to calculate some colorful pictures, it is really another matter. If we do well in this field, we can really learn a lot. It combines physical concepts (fluid combustion, etc. ), mathematical knowledge and computer programming. So I think this is still a good direction. The atmosphere is a little bad at the moment. Many people always compare the hot major of financial computer, and so do American students. When you come, you will transfer to CS to study for a master's degree and find a job. I'm not saying it's bad. In fact, no matter what direction, it is most important to do your own thing in a down-to-earth manner and learn some knowledge and skills. My boss is now doing combustion CFD, and he used to be a code farmer.
