A Displaying the dimensionless Radiation Transport Equation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on displaying the Radiation Transport Equation (RTE) in a dimensionless form, specifically incorporating the Planck number, Prandtl number, and Rayleigh number. The original poster seeks assistance after multiple unsuccessful attempts to achieve this. A participant questions the scaling of variables, suggesting that temperature should scale with a reference temperature and lengths with a characteristic length, while also inquiring about the scaling of time. Additionally, there is a request for clarification on how to define the heat flux vector in relation to temperature and its derivatives. Overall, the conversation centers on the complexities of dimensionless representation in fluid dynamics.

TL;DR Summary
Display the Radiation Transport Equation dimensionless
Hallo,
I would like to display the RTE (Radiation Transport Equation) dimensionless. In the picture, the RTE is shown. I would like to have the Planck number (or N) inside at the end. Additionally, the Prandtl number and the Rayleigh number can be inside. I have already many attempts behind me, but I do not get it. Could someone help me and explain it to me? I would be very grateful.

How are you scaling the variables? I assume temperature scales with T_{\mathrm{ref}} and lengths with L; that leaves the question of how you scale time. As you mention Rayleigh and Prandtl numbers, this scaling presumably comes from the momentum equation, which you haven't included in your post.

How do you define \mathbf{q}_R in terms of T and its derivatives?

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'Highway: Deriving speed from Doppler shift'

I passed a motorcycle on the highway going the opposite direction. I know I was doing 125/km/h. I estimated that the frequency of his motor dropped by an entire octave, so that's a doubling of the wavelength. My intuition is telling me that's extremely unlikely. I can't actually calculate how fast he was going with just that information, can I? It seems to me, I have to know the absolute frequency of one of those tones, either shifted up or down or unshifted, yes? I tried to mimic the...
