2d Flow Fluid Fluid flow Simulation

AI Thread Summary

Creating a program that simulates a 2D environment with varying temperature and calculates fluid currents is feasible. This process would involve the use of partial differential equations (PDEs), which are mathematical equations that describe the relationship between functions and their derivatives. PDEs are essential for modeling phenomena such as heat distribution and fluid dynamics. To implement this, one would need to establish the governing equations for heat transfer and fluid motion, typically involving the Navier-Stokes equations for fluid dynamics alongside heat equations. Understanding and solving these PDEs is crucial for accurately simulating the behavior of the fluid in response to temperature changes.

Ive been thinking a lot and come nowhere, is it possible to create a program with a 2D envirment where the temperature change from place to place and make the computer calculate a current in the fluid? if so how would the mathematic look like then?

You sure could. It would involve PDE's.

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
