Hi! Thanks for the suggestion. This is a difficult topic. Usually, there is no easy way to map research directions and find some clear research gaps. One would need to read a lot about the topic (dozens or maybe hundreds of papers) and discuss known problems/approaches with other academics.
Hi Anupam! Yes, I am working on this. I plan to make several videos/tutorials about figures for papers soon. Please let me know if you have any specific topics or questions in mind. Andrey
Hi! It's a complex question. PhD can be a great experience or an awful experience. There are many factors to consider. In short, I would ask you to think about these questions: 1) Are you truly interested in fluid dynamics? Do you feel any passion about modelling it, solving challenging case studies, learning new methods, etc.? 2) Are you ready to spend 3-4 years on your PhD instead of joining a company and getting more money? 3) Do you know the research group you would like to join? Find some promising professors (not necessarily senior ones) and try to have a chat/meeting with them. It is important to see if you like talking with your potential advisor, if you like their approach, energy/vibe in the group, etc. Ask as many questions as you can - then it will become clearer if you want to take this PhD. Good luck!
It was amazing.
Really helpful ❤️❤️❤️
Helpful. Thank you

Do you have tips on finding gaps of research? Maybe a video?

Could you make a video on how you make figures?

Would you recommend doing a PhD in computational fluid dynamics? Im in the UK and academia is even more toxic here
