Arrays - Introduction What are arrays? When are they used/useful? Many examples
Definition: ARRAYS • What? • ONE variable that contains MORE THAN ONE value. VECTORS (1D) MATRICES (2D,3D..) pressures velocity densities temperatures
When to use arrays • Data Base (Keep data together)
Examples Database “VECTORS” Keep the top 5 scores: Keep the part numbers of a specific Gas Engine:
When to use arrays • Keep data together (data base) • Create data tables (financial analysis…)
Example Data Tables “MATRIX” Financial: Loan Analysis
When to use arrays • Keep data together (data base) • Create data tables (multiplication, sine, cosine, financial analysis…) • Study properties of fluids (CFD)
CFD Shock Waves Aerodynamics CFD = Computational Fluid Dynamics ->Solve and analyze problems that involve fluid flows Shock Waves
CFD Shock Waves Aerodynamics Matrices: Grids or Mesh T : temperature P : pressure u : velocity : density Fluid Flow
CFD Shock Waves Aerodynamics Matrices: Grids or Mesh 1st layer : T 2nd layer: P 3rd layer: 4th layer: u Fluid Flow Or.. 1 unique 3Dimensional array !!!
When to use arrays • Keep data together (data base) • Create data tables (multiplication, sine, cosine, financial analysis…) • Study properties of fluids (CFD) • Upload tremendous amount of data from files
Example Files • Online Data Files can be downloaded & Analyzed
When to use arrays • Keep data together (data base) • Create data tables (multiplication, sine, cosine, financial analysis…) • Study properties of fluids (CFD) • Upload tremendous amount of data from files Etc…
Lessons Learned • What is an array? • Difference between “vector” and “matrix” • Various examples showing the big pictures of arrays • What’s next? Creating arrays using MATLAB!
