 ``\textit{Doing a PhD is not a sprint but a marathon}``, is an often written quote.
 I did not hear that one personally, but I do understand it.
 Coming with a master’s degree and having an idealistic view of science and academia is motivating and encouraging.
 But this initial emotional rush quite naturally fades out with time.
-To keep the train on track and finally write this thesis I have to thank many people that help during this episode of my life.

 I'd like to start by thanking Dr. Andrea Scagliarini. 
 He was the initiator of the project that led to my thesis.

 Of course, I could only reach this point due to constant support of my supervisor Prof. Dr. Jens Harting.
 He was brave enough to hire someone that had little to no prior knowledge with fluid dynamics and scientific computing.
 While it was not always easy, because different characters see different problems I thank him wholeheartedly for his supervision.
-He offered me a all the freedom to learn new things and being creative with computational experiments.
+He offered me all the freedom to learn new things and being creative with computational experiments.
 His trust allowed me to visit and present my work at several international conferences and let me engage with the community.
 
 As my mood was not always the best during this time I have to thank the one person who always stood with me, Leonie.

 That changed with my relocation to Nürnberg as there was \textit{suddenly} distance between us.
 They tried to keep up with me and my life, with more and less success.
 On the same note I thank both my grandparents for being in my life.
-Both although very different care deeply for me and I am very lucky that they are still around.
+Both care deeply for me and I am very lucky that they are still around.
 Supporting me with care packages I received from time to time, which were always filled with delicious goods.
+During the time of writing this work, my grandfather Peter Tschuchnik has passed away after a short intensive sickness.
+I have so many beautiful memories being in Zeltweg, thank you for that Opa I miss you. 
 
-Thanks to my friend, Clemens, and my brother Thomas who although in different country I am in contact on an almost daily base.

 One person that deserves his own sentence is Manuel our former IT admin and live saver.
 Thanks to his engaging lectures on coding and scientific computing as well as version control I quickly caught up with building my own usable software. 
 
 There were so many people who supported me on my journey and I am very sorry for those who I have not mentioned here.
 I could not have done this alone and I know that. 
 Therefore I am in dept to so many people.
-Thank you very much Leonie, family, friends, Andrea, Jens and many more.
