My suggestion is to do it Chet's way first. Before diving into a CFD. The more you understand the physics, the better your CFD model will be. I've seen spectacularly bad (though colorful) results.

What do you have in mind for 'simulation software?'

I'm not sure where this post might belong, so I just started a new thread. If there is an existing thread it should go into, please feel free to move it. Around tax time each year, I receive certain documents from my family's tax accountants. Actually, my brother gets them from the CPA, and...

I think it's Babylonian or Mayan counting.

I don't know if they've been mentioned before but last night I saw the tribute band ABBA Cadabra (https://www.adbacadabra.com/). I'm not an ABBA fan, so I can't judge but the show was very good and the crowd (who *were* true ABBA fans) said it was like seeing the real band. I came away with a...

It isn't paradoxical if you have ever boiled sap to make maple syrup. The raw sap is 2 or 3 percent sugar, depending on the tree. If you start with 40 gallons of sap, and boil 20 gallons off, the sugar content doubles (!) to a whopping 5 or 6 percent. The final syrup is near 70 percent sugar...
