Blarg, so my fluids final lab project started today. We have 3 days to do an experiment that we thought up ourselves. We picked to do flow visualization over (a scale model of) an F/A-18 in a water tunnel. But yea, I guess part of the reason why I'm not so hyped about this experiment is that with flow visualization, all your data comes in the form of pictures and occasionally video. And I guess I'm just a lot better with quantitative data than with qualitative- I prefer analyzing numerical trends as opposed to just being like, "As seen in Fig. 1.2, the object is very pretty..." "It is evident to the most casual of observers, that the cool-itude is proportional to the pretti-tude. It is my intention to sit down and play video games for several hours. (Strongbad reference)" Heh, but seriously, I guess my main concern is that we're not gonna have a whole lot to say about what we see. But yea, other groups have spent till 5 in the morning(s) doing their experiments. Dunno if we'll have to do the same- we'll see. At any rate, the water tunnel is my life for the next couple days. =/
