This week started off with brainstorming questions to see where we wanted to go with the solution that we reviewed that was published by Denisov and Beichman. Two of the questions that we began to ask were how does time become a factor in the stability of the solution and how much do we want …

Just like us, u_2 can do it!
This week we focused on deriving the velocity function u which we had realized was made of two components u=(u1,u2) . As we had learned before the first component u1=0 but we then figured out that the second component which began as a double integral was truly a single integral with an integrand with a …
Streaming through Week 2
Towards the beginning of the week, our team decided to take a closer look at some of the literature provided to us in order to understand some context to the problem we will be working on. We also looked at new functions and their hyperbolic behavior, Sinh[x] and Cosh[x]. These two functions were pivotal to …
