Hi All, I need some help to figure out how to best go about setting-up and analyzing a micro-fluidics design problem I ran across in my research. It's not the typical single-surface contact angle adhesion kind of analysis. Basically, I have a wide micro-fluidic channel that's formed by a...

Hey All, In deriving applications of Maxwell's equations in advanced electromagnetics, it seems like one is exposed to almost all of the vector calculus identities in the book! (or at least on the current Wikipedia entry :smile:). Personally, I'm a non-traditional learner, and grasp advanced...

Sadly, I've very recently come to the conclusion that the career field I've been falling for over the past four years, is, when I get down to it, a total buttermath (Or Buttermaths for our Brittish friends). I've been trying to look past it for a long time now, but I'm just not sure I can live...

Hey All, I was wondering if anyone knows of any good simulation software packages that can do quantitative radiometry. I'm thinking COMSOL may have a radiometry suite, but I'm not very familiar with the software or package offerings. Basically, I'm trying to optimize the placement of hundreds...

Lol. I thought it was a big stretch... Maybe I'll spring for "EMC2 4 $" Thanks for the feedback!

"DXDP=H/2" Whatchya think? Too inaccurate? Unfortunately the NC dmv doesn't allow for sigma, subscripts, inequalities, or crossed-through H's. =(

Well said AT! It seems as though the glass and/or tint is causing a change in polarization angle. If the glass only acted as another polarizing filter, and not as an optical rotator, then we would expect to see a dark area there as well, as the initially polarized rays would be blocked by the...

Thank you Andy! It's a puzzling effect is it not? To help answer your questions: The tint film itself is a mystery tint. I wasn't able to speak with the tinting professional (although I asked) before he applied the film. Moral of the story, if you ever buy a new car and want your windows...

Hi all, I'm new to the forums (in posting at least!). I recently graduated with a B.S. in Applied Physics, and have viewed topics here on and off throughout my educational experience. I definitely love this forum! I've been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to buy a new car, and recently...
