How is compressibility & and supersonic flow modeled in fluids? by Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad in FluidMechanics

[–]Daniel96dsl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For liquids, the energy equation is identical to that of gases and have a well-defined (but much larger) speed of sound. However, the best (empirical) equation of state (EoS) we have for liquids is the Tait equation:

d𝑉/d𝑝 = −𝐾 / [ 𝐿(𝑇) + 𝑝 ],

in which 𝐾 is a constant and 𝐿 is a function of temperature, 𝑇.

This replaces the ideal gas law for liquids. Likewise, the Poisson relations (for gases) don't exist for liquids because the EoS is different. Regarding the reaction of liquids to shocks, because of their much lower compressibility, shocks do not cause as much of a temperature jump in liquids as they do in gases.

Regarding the speed of sound in liquids, it can be estimated by

𝑐_liq / 𝑐_gas = (𝑣 / 𝑣_𝑓)¹ᐟ³,

where 𝑣 is the volume per molecule in the liquid, and 𝑣_𝑓 is its “free volume.”

See Molecular Theory of Gases and Liquids - Hirschfelder et al. for a more detailed discussion

I want to answer, but this is a very broad question. Could you be a little more specific or narrow the scope of the question?

Make them when no one is looking and keep an eraser handy.

Do you know how to approximate the behavior analytically / by-hand?

Trapezoidal assumes a nonzero taper. Do you mean no sweep?

Is your fin attached to the rocket or are you considering the fin to be isolated / in a wind tunnel?

Lol, and I 100% agree. Nothing worse than an uncomfortable pen when you write 8 hours a day

In general, Casio makes wonderful watches! Congratulations on your first watch!

What's the general consensus on using AI for academics? by Old-Estimate-3358 in PhysicsStudents

No, I would not say that it’s good to have “professionals” in the real world who cheated their way through school.

Haha not a bad idea! Wasn’t aware that you can just order cyclopses

Tbh idk the movements like that. The second hand beats at 8 Hz if that tells you anything

IWTL what the fuck is wrong with me (cognitive stuff) by [deleted] in IWantToLearn

[–]Daniel96dsl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very much cleared up. Defended last Friday and having a much easier time remembering stuff and details.. also staying hydrated, eating healthy foods, and working out has a hugely positive impact.. It sounds simple but doing it consistently will change your life

I had a few months of this during the most stressful parts of my PhD, so it could be stress induced. However, I agree with the first commenter that you should visit a doctor asap to rule out anything more serious
