> My example: adaptive resolution grids for fluid simulations.

You aren't going to get any real exposure to this through a CS degree. The action here is happening in Applied Math, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and similar departments. Some schools (like Caltech) have more specifically tailored Computational Science/Engineering, but that is pretty rare.

What do you consider to take for one of those engineering fields? I'm thinking of UIUC (they have aerospace as well) and curious to know which schools are most targeted for internships and job recruitment related to engineering.

Take the math classes at a community college and transfer. It will be cheaper and help you figure out if its a good fit. I tried CS and couldn't do the Math above Calculus 1. UIUC is a great school and by no means easy. I have friends that graduated from there.
