AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on the applicability of Navier's slip condition at fixed channel walls, questioning whether it can be applied even when the walls do not move. It is clarified that the slip condition facilitates relative motion between the fluid and the solid interface, which can be relevant in scenarios like wetting. Participants explore the implications of fixed boundaries on the validity of the slip condition. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding boundary conditions in fluid dynamics. Ultimately, the applicability of Navier's slip condition at stationary walls remains a nuanced topic in fluid mechanics.

Is it necessary for the channel walls to move for the applicability of Navier's slip condition at the boundary. i.e., Is it possible that the channels walls are fixed, but we can apply the Navier's slip condition at both the channel walls.

The slip condition simply allows for relative motion between the fluid and sold at the interface. Slip is invoked to explain wetting, for example.

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks

i want to just test a linear generator with galvanometer , the magnet is N28 and the wire (Cu) is of 0.6mm thikness and 10m long , but galvanometer dont show anthing , The core is PLA material (3d printed) The magnet size if 28mm * 10mm * 5mm

Thread 'Fundamental Probability'

If the universe is fundamentally probabilistic, and all possible outcomes are realized in some branch of the multiverse, does that invalidate the concept of scientific inquiry? If knowledge is merely a description of one particular branch of reality, does it have any inherent value?
