Research question and State of the art

The purpose of this assignment is to formulate your research question, which will guide the method you choose in your project, the analysis and discussion of your results. Together with your research question you should draft an introduction section for your project report, including: (i) your research question, (ii) a description of the background to your research question (why it is important), and (iii) a description of the state of the art in the field (including references). You submit (i)-(iii) as one pdf-document, maximum 2 pages. 

Some questions to guide your choice of research question: 

1. In what area of fluid dynamics would I like to do my project? 

2. What are the main challenges of that area? 

3. Is there a research question related to these challenges that I can investigate with the methods and software tools used in the lab assignments 1-4? If not, would I be able to extend the methods and software to address the research question?
