Title: Hi everyone - greetings from desA
Post by: desA on October 26, 2006, 02:33:28 PM
Hi everyone,

My name is Des Aubery (moniker desA).

I returned to do academic study in mid-life, after many years in the Engineering Consulting field.
I'm busy reading towards a PhD in Mechanical Engineering - specialty in the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluid flows. Most of my current research involves 24/7 simulation of Finite Element models of fluids running within confined domains.

My interest in fractals is to try & quantify & describe the large-scale group-like relationships I have observed during my simulations.

Thanks so much for operating a board like this. I found your link in a Google discussion group (I think Physics).

Regards,
desA

Welcome to the forums Des!

Take a look at this forum - http://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?topic=207.0 (http://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?topic=207.0) there's a PDF you might find useful on vortex modelling.

Hello desA,

Have you ever engaged in any wild speculation such as applications of Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluid flows to quantum mechanics, and EM phenomena in general.  Some people have come up with revised interpretations of Schrodinger's equation for atoms based on a Navier-Stokes approach.  It is very controversial, but interesting.

If you would like to see some motivation for a neo-classical approach to atomic scale physics, please see www.amherst.edu/~rloldershaw .  I am always ready to discuss the issues raised there.

Again, welcome to the forum,

Rob

Ahah, at last someone I can discuss this level of detail with... I'll come over & visit. Thanks so much for your link.

A sneak preview - the Navier-Stokes equations are naturally quasi-linear parabolic wave equations. In tensor form they are a dead give-away. I've got all types of interesting vector plots running at the moment. The acceleration field is rather revealing.
