Graduate Kernal density estimate in polar coordinates.
Hi, I have a data set containing values for power and direction. I would like to produce a probability density estimate. The data can have multiple sources so I want to use a nonparametric method. I work in python which has a method for kernal density estimation (KDE), which I think should be...- davcrai

Hmmm, might it include density and a gas constant by any chance... Thanks- davcrai

Thermodynamics - Work done per unit mass
ok, so I think for the second one you hold p constant at 1000hPa for the integration then evaluate between s1 and s2? Still unsure about the third one?- davcrai

Fluids Book: Find Upper Level Undergrad Resource
Thanks for the suggestions, settled on intro. to theoretical and computational fluid dynamics by Pozrikidis and some online notes from the MIT open courseware stuff. cjsgrailknight... fluids is a bit dry (I like the pun) to start with but it gets more interesting when applied to environmental...- davcrai

Thermodynamics - Work done per unit mass
Homework Statement A sample of dry air has initial pressure p1 = 1000 hPa and temperature T1 = 300k. It undergoes a process that takes it to a new pressure p2 = 500 hPa with unchanged temperature T2 = T1. Compute the mechanical work per unit mass performed by the sample under the following...- davcrai

Fluids Book: Find Upper Level Undergrad Resource
Hi, I'm taking an upper level ungergrad fluids class and am struggling with it, does anyone know a good book or other resource to help get a better understanding of the subject (one with lots of examples and problems preferably). Needs to cover topics like dimensional analysis, Stokes flow...- davcrai

Uniqueness of Stokes Flow: Investigating Strain and Stress Tensors
Homework Statement Going through a proof of uniqueness for stokes flow for a fluids class I'm taking. Part of it involves replacing the strain tensor (e) with the stress tensor (a), ie going from (2u)*int(eij*eij)dV to int(eij*aij)dV Homework Equations...- davcrai
