Do I take Thermal Convection Course

Hi,

I am a graduate student. I want to select the courses for this Spring semester. I want to do my thesis on CFD. I had taken Fluid Dynamics and Finite Element Analysis in this semester. I wanted to know how much will the course Thermal Convection help me in my thesis?

It's probably helpful especially if you want to model heat transfer in your thesis project. Even if you don't, if you ever want to work in CFD professionally you will likely be expected to know about heat transfer at some point, so I think a course on convection will help you with this.
