SUMMARY
The discussion centers on solving the Navier-Stokes equation for the variable Vo, specifically the equation 0=u[(d/dr)((1/r)*(d/dr)(r*Vo))]. The professor's solution yields Vo=Co*r/2+C1/r, which the original poster struggles to replicate. Participants are encouraged to verify the professor's solution and compare it with their own results to identify discrepancies in the calculations.
