I am curious what the nonlinear bernoulli equation is used to model. Is there a certain topic or context where it shows up often? Can any suggest some references for more info?

I am reviewing some ODE stuff for an upcoming exam and would really like an intuitive feel for the equation and its solutions. However, I have only been able to find information about how to solve the equation. Thanks

I think that I've seen it show up in problems in dynamics.
 
The Bernoulli DE models the motion of a body in a medium where the resistance to motion is proportional to the velocity of the body. This resistance can also include a velocity term to a certain power as well.
 

Thread 'Volterra equation of the second kind'

There is the following linear Volterra equation of the second kind $$ y(x)+\int_{0}^{x} K(x-s) y(s)\,{\rm d}s = 1 $$ with kernel $$ K(x-s) = 1 - 4 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{\lambda_n^2} e^{-\beta \lambda_n^2 (x-s)} $$ where $y(0)=1$, $\beta>0$ and $\lambda_n$ is the $n$-th positive root of the equation $J_0(x)=0$ (here $n$ is a natural number that numbers these positive roots in the order of increasing their values), $J_0(x)$ is the Bessel function of the first kind of zero order.

Thread 'Visual Representation of Separation of Varables'

Are there any good visualization tutorials, written or video, that show graphically how separation of variables works? I particularly have the time-independent Schrodinger Equation in mind. There are hundreds of demonstrations out there which essentially distill to copies of one another. However I am trying to visualize in my mind how this process looks graphically - for example plotting t on one axis and x on the other for f(x,t). I have seen other good visual representations of...
