🧠 Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.
Hey friends & nerds! 👋
Welcome to the Sunday Science Newsletter – in this newsletter we explore & discuss strategies, systems & tools that help us become better, smarter and more effective scientists.

✅ Science Cohort - Workshops
The (almost) final list of the guest speakers and their workshops for the first Engineering Science Cohort is now done!
🚗 The Man Who Invented the Self-Driving Car (in 1986)
Long before Big Tech got behind the wheel, Ernst Dickmanns unleashed a driverless Mercedes onto the roads of Europe.
🧠 Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) in Fluid Simulations: Pitfalls and Frustration
Though PINNs (physics-informed neural networks) are now deemed as a complement to traditional CFD (computational fluid dynamics) solvers rather than a replacement, their ability to solve the Navier-Stokes equations without given data is still of great interest.
This report presents our not-so- successful experiments of solving the Navier-Stokes equations with PINN as a replacement to traditional solvers.
🤓 Eighty Years of the Finite Element Method: Birth, Evolution, and Future
This document presents comprehensive historical accounts on the developments of fnite element methods (FEM) since 1941, with a specifc emphasis on developments related to solid mechanics. We present a historical overview beginning with the theoretical formulations and origins of the FEM, while discussing important developments that have enabled the FEM to become the numerical method of choice for so many problems rooted in solid mechanics.
💻 Engineering Tool of the Week – SU2
Computational analysis tools have revolutionized the way we design engineering systems, but most established codes are proprietary, unavailable, or prohibitively expensive for many users. The SU2 team is changing this, making multiphysics analysis and design optimization software freely available and involving everyone in its creation and development.
📚 Book of the Week
A Voyage Through Turbulence
Turbulence is widely recognized as one of the outstanding problems of the physical sciences, but it still remains only partially understood despite having attracted the sustained efforts of many leading scientists for well over a century. This book will provide absorbing reading for every scientist, mathematician and engineer interested in the history and culture of turbulence, as background to the intense challenges that this universal phenomenon still presents.
