SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on solving a complex differential equation related to the Navier-Stokes equations, specifically a third velocity component represented by the equation: h[z]'' - 2 α Tan(z) h[z]' + ((λ*2α)/c2 - 1/Cos[z]^2) h[z] = 0. The user successfully utilized Bessel functions for part of the solution and noted that Maple can solve the ordinary differential equation (ODE) using Legendre functions. The user also attempted to solve the equation using Mathematica and Wolfram Alpha, experiencing inconsistencies in results due to potential transformation errors.
