[Phys-l] Bernoulli equation (redux)



In November, the list discussed a question that John Mallinckrodt brought up about the Bernoulli equation not being Galilean invariant. I followed that up into a short publication in the European Journal of Physics:

It seems to me that we quite often discuss interesting issues on PHYS-L. I would like to encourage other members of the list to take items that strike their fancy and write them up. That has at least 3 useful functions (in addition to any personal satisfaction you may get from publishing):

1. It summarizes the whole issue compactly. (That's something we often don't do on PHYS-L, instead tending to just drop a thread when we tire of it or when it's more or less been exhausted. But a summary is important to cement together the details of what you learned.)

2. It preserves it in a more accessible manner than searching PHYS-L archives (useful though those archives certainly are).

3. It brings it to the attention of people who aren't on our list.
