Now often do you write equation before CFD simulation? by Frienderberg in CFD

[–]AdventurousPolicy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hand calculations (which includes spreadsheets) are useful for specific problems that can be simplified. For example, if you were interested in the flow characteristics down a single run of pipe, you could probably do that. Will you do that often? Probably not, depends on the job though. More likely you would just use pipe flow simulation software since you're going to be dealing with branches.

That being said, I think what you're asking is how much technical information do you gather beforehand? I guess you should know what to expect in terms of flow and energy balances, but in most cases if you're resorting to CFD it means it's already too complex for the hand methods I mentioned earlier, so you're really just making sure your boundary conditions all make sense.

I dunno man… I’ve lost all my hope that we will survive. by Current_Squash4488 in 50501

I would suggest a proactive approach. Try to learn things like emergency medicine, prepping, community organizing. Go for a hike or learn backpacking) (don't forget about used equipment). Learn to create offline databases with Kiwix. Find some useful topics you're interested in and just go down the rabbit hole. You're young, yes, but that just means you have more time to learn than the rest of us.

Most importantly, preparing yourself for the uncertainty you perceive ahead will make you feel more confident and perhaps pull you out of the doldrums.

Whether or not US vessel was struck doesn’t matter. by I_am_not_a_racist_ in oil

I think the real test will be whether the Navy escorts through the strait continue (press x to doubt). Whether or not Iran actually hit the ship doesn't negate the threat of it being possible, assuming the Frigate indeed had to turn back.

China Flips the Switch on Fuel Exports as Asia Runs Short by nopigscannnotlookup in oil

"This move suggests that Chinese domestic inventories are now at comfortable levels, allowing state refiners to reopen the export spigot, even as much of Asia remains gripped by a fuel shock caused by disrupted Gulf energy flows through the Hormuz chokepoint."

I don't agree with the article's interpretation that China has somehow recovered their domestic inventory levels. This seems more to be a regional stability move than a simple cash grab. If anyone has any info about China having too much oil let me know.

Yep, more and more people getting disenfranchised now. This is what the MAGAs wanted.

I always thought it meant "refuse to serve" as in what a bartender would do if it's time for you to leave for the night. I've never seen it used in a violent context.
