I'm nearly finished with a master's in physics. For my thesis, I worked on a program in C++ using parallel programming, but it that had nothing to do with fluid dynamics. However, CFD seems pretty interesting to me and I have taken undergrad courses in heat transfer and fluid dynamics.



Despite my lack of an engineering background, would I still have a chance at CFD roles? Perhaps ones that need someone with scientific computing experience in C++, applied math/numerical linear algebra and parallel computing? If so, what companies could I apply for? Most CFD roles I've seen require engineering degrees, except for perhaps jobs at CD Adapco


And what can I do to better prepare myself for these roles? Take fluid dynamics courses on coursera?

Yes, I have degree in chemical engineering and never did any CFD related course. Also did computer science 101 as my only programming course.

Working in CFD for 15 years and counting.

HI I M CHEMICAL ENGINEER...my mtech project in cfd...its easy to grasp subject in theory..but very hard in real practice..
