AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking assistance with a fluids question, specifically related to aerodynamics rather than civil engineering, and has not received any responses to a previous post despite significant views. They express uncertainty in their ability to derive the answer, which likely involves Bernoulli's principles or gas laws. The user is considering building a scale model to explore the concept if they cannot find help, as the uncertainty is bothersome. They are looking for recommendations on forums or resources where they might receive better guidance. The discussion highlights the need for a supportive community for technical inquiries in fluid dynamics.

Can someone suggest a way to answer a fluids question? More aero based than civil. I posted a thread over 8 weeks ago and I didn't get a single response or opinion despite hundreds of views. I don't believe I have the skills to derive the right answer - which is either yes or no - most likely Bernoulli based and/or gas laws. If can't derive it, I will be forced to spend several days and some bucks to build a scale model to try to answer the question - because it will bug me not knowing until I find out if the proposed concept is scientifically viable. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks.

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 'Site Usability nitpick -- Hyperlinks should be underlined'

This came up in my job today (UXP). Never thought to raise it here on PF till now. Hyperlinks really should be underlined at all times. PF only underlines them when they are rolled over. Colour alone (especially dark blue/purple) makes it difficult to spot a hyperlink in a large block of text (or even a small one). Not everyone can see perfectly. Even if they don't suffer from colour deficiency, not everyone has the visual acuity to distinguish two very close shades of text. Hover actions...

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...
