I tried a mirror image painting on eye shaped mirrors. The glass colors and the mirror look very bright on reflection of light

Weather at different times on the same day

12:00 pm – Sunny and Windy

1:00 pm – Cloudy and little drizzle

2:30 pm – Sunny

4:00 pm – Hail

Thanks to Oregon weather, I got to see all seasons (except Fall) on a single day …




Funny Indian store bill :)





{March 3, 2008}   FLUENT graphics sucks!!

It’s been almost 3 years since I started working with FLUENT including my undergraduate project and my masters thesis. I was always amazed by the solver capabilities, but I observed that the graphics sucks. If we close a graphics window, the whole program crashes :( … Closing the graphics window by right-clicking at the task-bar works sometimes (Depending on ur luck). Recently I worked on another program STAR CCM+, its graphics are simply awesome . The scene update in post-processing can be seen immediately and the geometry can be rotated while iterating…if the same thing is done in FLUENT, the program freezes!!

This new program is mostly limited to under-hood thermal management and automotive applications. I am waiting for a new program which combines FLUENT’s capabilities with STAR CCM’s interface quality.
