Trying to push through to my fluids final. The thing about having an exam on the last day of the year is that most of my friends are already home, and campus is weirdly empty. It’s kinda peaceful though.
Really looking forward to moving out of my dorm and into my house tomorrow afternoon.
So I was playing Borderlands 2 again just now an I couldn't help but notice something.
(No sound in video clip do to a lot of background noise)
Did they add these liquid physics to the game, have I just never noticed, or has it really been THAT long since I've played borderlands 2?
I feel like I'm losing my mind a little bit over this.
Like, this is the the kind of blood graphics I remember, but I was also getting globs of usually orange-ish blood from enemies just pooling up and running along the ground. And then the toilets also had really weird fluid physics/graphics it seems.
Just wondering if anyone remembers these always being there and if I've just forgotten. Or are they new to you as well?
Hate it when I go to pee and the stream diverges into two utterly different trajectories, it feels like I'm a NASA engineer helplessly watching the challenger detonate and careen into the ground
We're all just eddies
self perpetuating spirals,
melodies in otherwise
laminar flow of time.
Spirals that developed skin,
that learned how to kick,
that carry the ocean with them,
like drops sloshed in the dirt.
Spirals that when finished spinning,
blow final breath across the water,
continuing their song
in yet another eddy.
-I stole the gif from wikipedia. Go learn about fluid dynamics.
(I'll solve some Olympiad Questions to wreck my brain and then cover a little theory on Surface Tension and Viscosity)
Maths (5pm - 10pm) :- Whatever chapter they're doing in class
(I'll to revise my class notes and solve that incredibly hard assignment that leaves my brain throbbing - without solution cause apparently solution makes you lazy. whatever)
Chemistry (11pm - 2am) :- Basics of Organic Chemistry
(Did I mention I hate Chemistry ? But well, my teachers don't care so- ill be off attending a stupid [albeit a little interesting] lecture on Organic Chemistry and then solve another brain hurting-headache inducing-makes no sense whatsoever assignment)
Reliable predictions of non-Newtonian flows of sludge
Regular readers of this blog will be aware that I have been working for many years on validation processes for computational models of structures employed in a wide range of sectors, including aerospace engineering [see ‘The blind leading the blind’ on May 27th, 2020] and nuclear energy [see ‘Million to one’ on November 21st, 2018]. Validation is determining the extent to which predictions from…
The velocity of a stream decreases from a maximum at the center to a minimum - near zero - at the banks, the velocity profile usually a parabolic function, or a linear function, of velocity versus distance from the bank.
The reason why the velocity is so low near the banks is due to friction, a fact that these tiny fish, milling around in the waters immediately adjacent to the sandy bank, utilize to prevent themselves from being swept downstream and out to sea.
Sudden and random surges in the velocity of the river however force them to adopt a schooling configuration - the top two photos, versus the randomly oriented positions of the fish in the shoal of the last two photos - and actively swim in an upstream direction in order to hold their position at the bank.

I have a fluids exam monday, so I will be thoroughly studying for the next two days. i have thurs/friday off, so im going to study now to enjoy my long weekend. then i’ll review with my study group sunday evening ;)
A scale from the Linea Lateralis (lateral line organ)
Some fishes have a row of tiny scales on each side of their body, which works as a sensory organ, detecting vibrations in water. The little hole in the middle of the scale let the water penetrate under the scale, into a tiny canal which conducts the liquid in contact with the external structure of a sensory cells' group, connected to a nerve. The impulse that the nerve record depends on the pressure of the fluid : it can detect very low pressure variations, which allow the fish to perceive movements of other fishes around or to regulate its own swimming speed.
Zeroth law of Thermodynamics’ states that if two systems are in equilibrium temperature first with second, two to third and first also with third so they are equal in temperature to each other.
