Your help needed

Rafaqat Ullah

i am an aerospace graduate from Kingston University london. My Degree only had a couple of modules of aerodynamics in it. However, Aerodynamics and CFD, both subjects fascinate me. I am planning to apply for Msc CFd in 2002, at cranfield university.

Now what i want, is to develope a strong background in CFd before starting the course..as i have a year out to learn stuff in my free time.

People here in the forum are obviously intelligent and well developed in CFD field, so i want on your advice on how to go about developing my knowledge. What books are good for beginners ??? any reccomended software ?? online tutorials ???? My interests do lie in the aerospace field though.

Any help from anyone here will be much appreciated.

Thanx in advance.
