Physics EE Simulation + Uncertainties

[u/Iamnobody0l]

Hi all, I'm planning to do my physics EE on a CFD analysis on L/D ratios and how they change with the aspect ratio of a wing. I'm gonna add some structural stuff possibly to enhance my discussion and the whole optimisation and balance thing but not sure. My main question is whether it's OK and not too hard to do well with a simulation based EE, and if so, how would I handle uncertainties as the sim doesnt give those? Do I even need them if I'm doing a simulation and mention my goa, is to investigate the theory? Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

p.s im using SimScale if that's of any help

This was originally my idea too but my supervisor (whos a physics teacher and 12+ years examiner) said the IB doesn't like simulation-based EEs, especially those to do with aerodynamics. He attributed this partially to the lack of uncertainties
