Consider the equation for conservation of momentum in an inviscid flow, first in differential form: $$\displaystyle \frac{\partial}{\partial t} (\rho\vec{u}) = -\nabla\cdot(\rho\vec{u}\vec{u}) – \nabla P $$ and then integrated over an arbitrary control volume $\Omega$, using the divergence theorem on the momentum term and the gradient theorem on the pressure term: $$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dt} \int_\Omega \rho\vec{u}\,dx = … Read More “Source of the source: Pressure in the axisymmetric momentum equation” »

Being almost obsessively parsimonious, I once joked that if everyone’s spending habits were like mine the economy would collapse. Mathematician that I am, I wondered if that was actually true and whether it could be predicted mathematically. Now you can enjoy the result. For simplicity, consider an economy with two kinds of people who differ … Read More “Power to the Penny-Pinchers” »
