    LaTeX Is it possible to write functions in latex for figure positioning?

    Thanks for the answer, but I'm quite a newbe in Latex so I'm affraid I need more help. Is it possible to define a value to a command, so that you can later use it to scale all the pictures in the same way? I mean something like this: \newcommand{\figurewidth}{0.4} and then later, in the...

    LaTeX Is it possible to write functions in latex for figure positioning?

    Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to write functions in Latex to place figures in a constant way during the whole document. What I had in mind is to do it in 'a MATLAB way', for example: In the document itself, you could call the function and specify the figures and the caption like...

    What is the derivation of the Rankine Hugoniot relations in fluid dynamics?

    Hello, See picture, I do not understand one step w.r.t. to the derivation of the Rankine Hugoniot relations (fluid dynamics): how does one get the second function from the first function? I think I am missing some vector algebra here..

    How to solve (x-1)^2 * (a+x)=1

    Yes, ok thank you. It did not cross my mind to substitute a variable for a variable^2

    How to solve (x-1)^2 * (a+x)=1

    well, actually this is the original equation (see figure1) The solution is in figure 2.. So let me reformulate my question: Can this be proven analytically?

    Fluid mechanics: Separation surface of a source in a parallel flow (3D)

    Hello, I have the following problem with respect to fluid mechanics: A source of strength Q is in a 3D space and subjected to a parallel flow U along the x-axis. The position of the source is at (xq,yq,zq). This will lead to the following velocity potential in cartesian and cylindrical...

    Inverse of inner product

    already solved it... w.n = the magnitude of the vector=length(w) x=f(s) dx/ds / length(dx/ds) = unity direction of the vector so the vector is w is determined to be (w.n)*(dx/ds / length(dx/ds))

    Inverse of inner product

    Ok thanks! but it did not solve my problem regarding vortex dynamics... I would like to use the the law of Biot and Savart to determine the velocity field induced by a vortex filament. I am trying to do this by rewriting the equation of the circulation to a function for the vorticity...

    Inverse of inner product

    my question is: if a.b=c with a=any vector b=any vector .=inner product c=resulting scalar is there a way to describe a=f(b,c)? Thanks
