"Solving Laplace's equation in a tube: how hard can it be?" Paul Martin (Mines)
Join us on 1/28 at 3pm for a talk by our very own Paul Martin on "Solving Laplace's equation in a tube: how hard can it be?" CH 143 and online.
Abstract: The title problem arises in classical fluid dynamics, and in steady-state diffusion and wave problems. It is almost trivial when there is nothing in the tube apart from flowing fluid, but it becomes much more interesting when the tube contains an obstacle. A related problem is: if I send a wave down a tube, how much of it is reflected by the obstacle? I shall discuss properties of the solution, and methods for approximating the solution.
