New Forum Suggestion: Fluid Mechanics Sub-Forum

  • Thread starter daveb
  • Start date
In summary, there is a suggestion to create a new sub-forum for fluid mechanics under one of the existing physics forums. It is mentioned that most important fluid mechanics questions are currently posted in either Classical Physics or Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering. It is suggested that the new sub-forum be called "Fluid Mechanics and Dynamics" and also include Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). There is also a suggestion to create a new forum under "announcements" for various suggestions for new forums.

How about a new sub-forum under one of the physics forums for fluid mechanics? I don't see where it fit under one of the existing forums. Or is there just not a lot of interest in the subject?

Well most important Fluid Mechanics Question (not homework related) are posted on Classical Physics or Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering.
 
  • #3
Yep, fluid mechanics is most definitely a subset of classical mechanics. Either Classical Physics or Mech/Aero Eng would be a good place for it.
 
  • #4
Probably Mech/Aero Eng since Fluid Mechanics is more or less applied physics specifically with respect to fluids, and Aero is appropriate for transonic and hypersonic fluid mechanics, and shock waves.

Probably should be Fluid Mechanics and Dynamics, which would also involve Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) which is an exceedingly important area of engineering these days.

We should have a new forum subfourm under announcements since there's allot of suggestions for new forums
 

1. Will this sub-forum only cover traditional fluid mechanics topics or will it also include newer research areas?

The fluid mechanics sub-forum will cover both traditional topics and newer research areas. We want to create a space where scientists and researchers from all backgrounds can come together to discuss and exchange ideas on all aspects of fluid mechanics.

2. Who can participate in discussions on this sub-forum?

Anyone with an interest in fluid mechanics, whether you are a student, researcher, or industry professional, is welcome to participate in discussions on this sub-forum. We encourage diverse perspectives and contributions from all members.

3. Will there be moderators to ensure the quality of discussions and information shared on the sub-forum?

Yes, we will have moderators who are experts in the field of fluid mechanics to ensure the quality and accuracy of discussions and information shared on the sub-forum. They will also be responsible for maintaining a respectful and professional environment for all members.

4. Can I suggest topics for discussion on the sub-forum?

Absolutely! We welcome suggestions for topics that you would like to see discussed on the sub-forum. You can reach out to the moderators or post your suggestion on the designated thread for topic suggestions.

5. How can I stay updated on the latest discussions and information on the fluid mechanics sub-forum?

You can subscribe to the sub-forum to receive notifications on new discussions and posts. Additionally, we will also have a newsletter that will be sent out regularly to all members with updates and highlights from the sub-forum.
