    Good examples of contemporary computational/theoretical engineering/physics research papers

    Hi, I understand there is computational research as well as completely theoretical research compared to experimental research. I was curious about what they are like. Could anyone point out some good papers? Thanks.

    Looking for basic theory on mixing of gases

    Hi, In my situation, I am dealing with two ideal gases traveling down a pipe at the same bulk velocities. I am only considering a 1-D treatment at the moment and I would like to find out at which point the two gases should be considered a well mixed, homogeneous mixture. Would anyone know...

    What statistics services/platforms do you use that help you in life?

    I encountered a website with statistics for a large number of video games, specifically regarding their availability across various platforms, their sales over time and some other things and methods to visualize them I found this really helpful. Might there be other services like this that...

    Curious about how you've seen research work out

    Something I've seen in nuclear materials research is that all of them are basically, I have a material, I am going to shoot energetic particles at it, I am going to record the numbers, take some before and after pictures and talk about what I saw. It does make sense that you would research like...

    Anyone know a reactor physics book better than duderstadt and hamilton?

    I really like the book for how much it covers. There's not a single topic that's missed that is relevant to nuclear reactor design/analysis. Often other books can miss a topic or two. It's just that the style is not to the point and often time is wasted talking about things that are irrelevant...

    What circumstances allow for use of trade secret software 'outside' of an organization?

    I was reading papers on neutron flux traps. Some people in the University of Tehran used MCNP to determine effectiveness of different neutron moderators. Context out of the way, my question is regarding the situation. How did researchers paid by an organization like the University of Tehran get...

    Possible to network in ones field while learning new science?

    Or at least honing ones current scientific skill/knowledge? How would one go about this? NOTE: I am talking about non-pandemic or otherwise non-emergency situation.

    How stressful is your field?

    I'm in nuclear engineering and things seem fairly laid back. Everyone comes off as a bit of a party animal and faculty where I am don't seem in a particular rush to get things done.

    If you hold a PhD or are a PhD advisor, what do you think students should learn from their PhDs?

    I mean apart from the obvious that they'll select some research topic and learn about that.

    How to handle equipment moving as professor/advisor?

    So our group advisor had to move our equipment from one lab to another since the department was moving to another building. Our advisor and us pitched in using uhaul to bring it where it was needed. I MAY choose academia in the future and personally, I would not want my students to have to...

    How do you acquire your pc games? (If you play them)

    I'm trying to have an in depth look and compare and contrast the various ways someone could get their PC games since it isn't always possible to get PC games physically and nowadays even if you do there are some caveats due to increasing sizes of games. At the same time I'm a bit of an old timer...

    I don't understand networking

    I've talked to a few people and I think I get the basic gist that you talk to a bunch of people in your field, some outside, make friends and then you have a 'network' of people with certain skills you can fall back on when you need it and your own ability in that area is insufficient and vice...

    When did science become vast?

    We've reached a point where it seems like you can't be an expert in everything. But it seems from history that there was a time when you could be good at all the latest research subjects. Over what time period did those changes happen and what changes happened for such a shift?

    Any scientists here done interviews on shows? What's it like?

    Or maybe even talked to someone who doesn't do science but has an interest in the knowledge? How was your experience?

    Looking for Nuclear Engineering must reads

    I'm asking for suggestions in various categories as some of them might be more important for coursework whereas others might be more recreational and to expand knowledge. I know for example that Knoll is the go to for radiation detection and Lamarsh and Baratta is the most important for intro...

    Question for anyone that has/had a US security clearance

    What is the point of withdrawing from a check while receiving clearance if one has committed a heinous crime? From what I have discussed with some friends, once someone is denied, they are blacklisted from clearances. Someone in such a situation, would they have anything to lose whether they...
