What is the p_\infty term that arises in many expressions for pressure distributions around solid objects?
Homework Equations
An example is p = p_\infty - \frac{7}{2}\cos \theta
The Attempt at a Solution
I've seen the p_\infty come up very often in...
There isn't much difference, it's just that I've been using cartesian tensor methods and an identity involving the epsilon and delta tensors to do problems with with cross products. I won't have much free time in the next few weeks so if you're interested in different notations my suggestion...
I can't believe this thread was revived after well over a year. It brings back memories though. This was one of the problems I was struggling on while working through my problem booklet.
Since then I've learned to use the summtation convention and I can get the answer out in a few lines...
I can't remember much linear algebra but I would try considering the following. Suppose the dimension of a vector space is 6. Is it possible to extract 7 linearly independent vectors from that vector space?
I hope your situation gets better. I'm inclined to think that you'd be best to stay in Australia. At your age it wouldn't be easy to adapt to such a big change. By the way, are you the same Vanush from a popular NSW based student message board?
Hi, I'm just trying to get a feel for a subject that I plan to take but I'm unsure about the meaning of a certain term which frequently arises.
The term 'flow' comes up a lot and I'm wondering what it could mean (or refers to) in the context of a pipe flow problem. I know my question is vague...
You seem to be trying to base your career objective on the scores that you obtain. IMO that's not always the best way to go about choosing the discipline you want to go into.
I'm pretty sure that once you get past undergrad it's more about your understanding rather than your ability to do...
At first glance I agree with your first answer for res(f,-2) but not for res(f,1).
g\left( z \right) = \frac{{e^z }}{{\left( {z + 2} \right)}} \Rightarrow g'\left( z \right) = \frac{{e^z }}{{\left( {z + 2} \right)}} - \frac{{e^z }}{{\left( {z + 2} \right)^2 }}
Thanks for the help. The first part of the question involved deriving the Green's function for the 3D laplacian but the question statement itself isn't clear cut on whether an answer in terms of G is acceptable or if the expression for the G must be used. So presumably, an integral expression...

Consider \nabla ^2 u = Q\left( {x,y,z} \right) in the half space region z > 0 where u(x,y,o) = 0. The relevant Green's function is G(x,y,z|x',y',z').
Find the solution to the PDE in terms of G. If Q\left( {x,y,z} \right) = x^2 e^{ - z} \delta \left( {x - 2}...
I found the singularities by setting z^4 - 1 = 0.
The first term in the series for the sin(pi*z), centred at 1, is zero but the second one (which is something multiplied by (z-1)) isn't. So the singularity should be removable but then it isn't a simple pole. It makes no difference to the...
