SUMMARY

Simulating 2D temperature-based fluid flow is achievable through the application of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). The discussion confirms that PDEs are essential for modeling the behavior of fluids in varying temperature environments. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the mathematical framework behind PDEs to effectively implement such simulations. Tools and programming languages that facilitate these simulations were not explicitly mentioned but are implied to be necessary for practical application.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs)
  • Basic knowledge of fluid dynamics
  • Familiarity with numerical methods for solving PDEs
  • Proficiency in a programming language suitable for simulations, such as Python or MATLAB
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Navier-Stokes equations for fluid dynamics

Ive been thinking a lot and come nowhere, is it possible to create a program with a 2D envirment where the temperature change from place to place and make the computer calculate a current in the fluid? if so how would the mathematic look like then?

You sure could. It would involve PDE's.
 
what is pde?
