How can we determine representative volume element length (Lrve) for concrete?

for periodic materials, determining Lrve is simple but for a non-homogeneous material such as concrete, it is not that simple. any advice such as methods, references, etc. would be appreciated.

Why are the velocities so high in my Boussinesq approximation Fluent simulation?

Hello, I have a mechanism where air rises due to convective flows. In this simulation, nothing is driving the air except this. I understand that the Boussinesq approximation only works for small...

What is the characteristic length to determine the Reynolds number for the scattered turbulent fluid flow?

Dear all, I just saw this example in FB on the difference between laminar flow and turbulent flow. The flow from a pipe hits the sink and scattered. The flow from the pipe is characterized as...

Is there a deep reason for using the squared modulus of the wave function as the probability density of the existence of the particle?

I think we were all surprised at the first time we got to know quantum mechanics that the squared modulus of the wave function is the probability density of the existence of the particle? The role...
