My biggest project was to adopt some parts from the old version of FronTier(in C) to a new C++ version. It involved reading a bunch of papers on dynamic subgrid scale modeling (LES turbulence modeling), understanding a big piece of code written by someone else and changing (also adding new features) it to C++, which I didn't know much of until I started working on this project. | My biggest project was to adopt some parts from the old version of FronTier(in C) to a new C++ version.

The complexity of the code and poor documentation, made it quite challenging to add new pieces of code that worked in sync with the rest of it. It taught me the value of having a clear plan of action before implementation and the importance of testing vigorously. I found it useful at times to discuss certain aspects with more experienced users and refining my thought process. | The complexity of the code and poor documentation, made it quite challenging to add new pieces of code that worked in sync with the rest of it.

I' | I'll know the source code and community better by getting more involved in help-forums, IRC, etc. I will discuss the frequency and means of communication with my mentor. I have set up a blog to put my weekly/fortnightly progress. This project is more math-intensive than coding-intensive, so I'll use this time to solidify the theory behind implementation well. <br> | ||
