New Forum Suggestion: Fluid Mechanics Sub-Forum

AI Thread Summary
A suggestion for a new sub-forum dedicated to fluid mechanics has been proposed, as current discussions on the topic are primarily found in Classical Physics and Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering forums. Fluid mechanics is recognized as a subset of classical mechanics, with a preference for placement in the Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering section due to its applied physics nature. The proposed sub-forum could also encompass Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), an increasingly significant area in engineering. There is a call for the new sub-forum to be included under announcements, given the number of suggestions for new forums. Establishing this sub-forum could enhance discussions and resources related to fluid mechanics.

How about a new sub-forum under one of the physics forums for fluid mechanics? I don't see where it fit under one of the existing forums. Or is there just not a lot of interest in the subject?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Well most important Fluid Mechanics Question (not homework related) are posted on Classical Physics or Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering.
 
Yep, fluid mechanics is most definitely a subset of classical mechanics. Either Classical Physics or Mech/Aero Eng would be a good place for it.
 
Probably Mech/Aero Eng since Fluid Mechanics is more or less applied physics specifically with respect to fluids, and Aero is appropriate for transonic and hypersonic fluid mechanics, and shock waves.

Probably should be Fluid Mechanics and Dynamics, which would also involve Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) which is an exceedingly important area of engineering these days.
 
We should have a new forum subfourm under announcements since there's allot of suggestions for new forums
 

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
