Talk:Curvature of Riemannian manifolds

message: Normally I wouldn't pop in to say something like this. However, even as someone taking advanced college mathematics, most of this article is unreadable.

thread_title:  Any chance of this being dumbed down just a tad? 

message: My above critic is now meaningless and should be removed, since the article has been corrected successfully. Therefore the full structure theory of Singer & Thorpe, Kulkarni, Gray, Nomizu could be included here - it is very elegant from an algebraic point of view. Especially physicists should like the projector approach and its compatibility with group theory, because they use it in quantum mechanics extensively. But there remains a little glitch with respect to bi-vectors. The definition of the bilinear form there is not given. Is it the lifted one, or the Killing-form, and what is the relation between both bilinear form? H. Tilgner  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.201.108.121 (talk) 08:06, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Hello, I read the article and was wondering if the addition of a developmental section has been considered. I see that this was brought up in a previous Talk page post. I understand for teleost fish, the dorsal fin, and others, is composed of the endoskeleton and dermal finrays. Please refer to the article I have cited as a potential starting point for this addition. 
Also, I'm curious if the addition of additional practical applications of the dorsal fin could be added. The article notes the use of dorsal fins to identify cetaceans, but what about potential research uses of fish dorsal fins?

Talk:Swamp cooler

message: I've seen a design of evaporative cooler which has a thin amount of water in a tray with a fan above it. The fan sucks air from directly above the tray and draws air over the water, and presumably it evaporates. I presume this is probably less efficient because of surface tension.

"Shock waves form when the speed of a fluid changes by more than the speed of sound"

thread_title:  The phrase "shock of type 1" 

message: I don't believe these patterns to be caused by the intersection of shock waves w/ the surface of the water as that would be a conic section basically in reverse of what is shown here.  This appears to be a subsonic propagation or pressure wave moving at below Mach 1. Longinus876 (talk) 13:42, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The projectiles would trail a conical shock wave which would intersect the water surface (roughly) as a moving parabola. The expansion of the air inside the cannon creates an expanding spherical wave originating at the cannon tip, which intersects the water surface (roughly) as a circle. This wave is definitely supersonic here. A sonic (Mach 1) wave is basically a shock wave in the limit where it is reversible and there is no energy dissipation involved. Such a wave would be unable to disturb the water surface, by definition. As the supersonic spherical wave expands, it becomes weaker and slower and ultimately becomes a sound wave travelling at the speed of sound. Pressure cannot propagate slower than the speed of sound, and so Mach 1 is the hard lower limit on the speed at which that wave will propagate. Ariadacapo (talk) 14:44, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, correct.  I was thinking, wrongly, of a supersonic projectile which this was not.  The hard edge on the pattern tells a story in itself.  Very interesting to me.
