Hello, I posted on here recently about wanting to write my own cfd code, a very simple one initially then see how it goes from there.

I didnt really know anything about Navier-Stokes equations nor much about continuity and other such equations.I have been looking at the equations and how they are governed. Slowly it is coming together, I have also been looking at how the equations relate to a grid through discretization of the problem and what is solved.

I am trying to take in a huge ammount of information relating to completely different topics in a short time so i find it quite easy to get mixed up. At the moment i'm just picking up little bits everynow and then and slowly they are coming together to what will hopefully be something useful.

I am going to start thinking about writing a very simple code in MATLAB to solve the simplest of problems, but I will also need to learn MATLAB.

What type of problem do you think I should start with?

Also, how is the easiest way of splitting the domain up in to a grid without the use of ANSA, Gambit or equivalent?

Im sorry if it seems very basic but I dont have anyone to teach me about anything so I have to try and pick it up myself.

This is not my field of expertize at present but I really hope to work in CFD when I am older. Perhaps do a PhD on the subject.

Thanks a lot for any help, very much appreciated.
