It was just a question about squaring numbers that are less than one. I didn't mean that the radius was inherently special. Don't worry about it, I've figured it out myself now.
I am trying to work out radiation intensity at points along a transect with an increasing distance from the source. Despite having virtually no high school maths, I understand that by applying the inverse-square law (I = P / 4\pir2) to points < 1m from my radiation source is going to give...
I'm a PhD student so it's unlikely that I'll be able to persuade anyone to do my modelling for me. The main objective is just to see if 3D heat transfer modelling is viable for my field (forestry). The main thing for me is trying to understand the different types of models available before I...
Thanks,
I am in academia but not in a physics / engineering department. I don't have a Linux computer but it might be a possibility. Salome looks pretty useful, but it also only seems to work on different Linux distributions.
I've been looking into FEA and I'm wondering if it's really...
Hi,
I need to model heat transfer in a 3D digital environment. I have very little physics / engineering background so I have no idea what's available or what software / methods are used. I have some background in CAD and general experience in Matlab, but this is going to be a steep learning...
