Update 14/05

Well over the last few days I have spent alot of time revising for a maths exam. However today I have complete my introduction and conclusion and now have a first draft of my dissertation completed. I have also put all the sections together and have bega formatting it so that it meets the guidelines. This is taking longer than expected but I do hope to have a read over my dissertation and have it formatted by the weekend which will allow me enough time to create my poster and get the dissertation printed out and submitted on time.

Update 06/05

Over the last week I have finished my Result and discussion section of my dissertation. Now all that needs to be done is the introduction and conclusion of which I have finished the future work section. Also I need to put all the sections together and format so that it meets the specification required.

Also I have done my presentation on Sunday which I believe went well and am pretty happy what was said.

This week I have been able to complete my Methodology and I am currently working on my results which I have still to take not of the frame rates for the different sizes of grids. Next week alot of work will be done on my presentation which is to be done on the 5th May.

09/04 Gannt Chart

Above is my gannt chart for this week. Here you can see if complete the application sides of the project but have fallen behind on write up. I have therefore have had to change my gannt chart to combat this delay in the write up which is shown below:

Update 08/04

I have made major progress on the application side of the project, with the openGL version of the simulation completed. I have managed to get a number of objects into the scene and have the fluid interact with the objects correctly. All that needs to be done now is to adapt this application so it runs with DirectX.

On the write up side I am still working on my literature review which is behind schedule but I have made alot of progress on my application and have done alot of work on my other coursework which I thought would take longer which has given me more hours to work on the dissertation.

My Gannt chart for this week should be up by tomorrow as I have left a copy on my Uni Drive and forgot to copy it over.

Gannt Chart for Week Commencing 30/03/09

Over the last week I have been working a lot on my Literature which has required a lot more than what I was expecting due to large number of mathematical terms which I have to describe which has caused me to be slightly delayed due to it but I do plan on having it complete by this weekend.


A big break through has occurred on the programming side of things I have finally been able to complete the 2D grid and have the input in correctly. The only thing is that it is done on the OpenGL application and not the DirectX one but I believe I should get it done by the end of the day. However there is one problem the velocity is only moving up to the top right hand corner which means I have to look over the calculations code again which shouldn’t take that long as I’m looking only at the velocity not the density parts.


Once I have sorted these problems I'm going to do a quick research into boundary conditions and see if it feasible to have stationary objects within the application.
