[edit] Differential Conservation of mass equation
Do we real ly need this equation as the header of this template?? It is applicable to only some of the topics. And it's a distraction. This template is supposed to be a navigation template. The equation does not help a user one whit in finding his/her way to the various articles. Karl Hahn (T) (C) 22:06, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
- Jepp, in a war you're right. But I think a small picture makes the whole template a bit more attractive, as just a plain navigation template, it's some sort of an eye-catcher. And actually the continuity equation is one of the basic formula for all topics in cm. But if you find a better picture/formula feel free to replace it with it.(Sheliak 06:27, 7 September 2007 (UTC))
- I'm trying out a "volume conservation in incompressible fluid" diagram. I have also suggested a divergence theorem diagram, image:Divergence theorem.svg. I have left the equation inside of comment-brackets to make it easy to recover if there's no consensus on either of these (or another) image. Karl Hahn (T) (C) 12:29, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- Another suggestion: Image:2006-01-14 Surface waves.jpg I actually like this one better, so I'm changing to it. Karl Hahn (T) (C) 12:39, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Karl, well I'm pretty impressed on the Image:BernoullisLawDerivationDiagram.png image, would you mind if we use this one ? It looks good, it has more to do with physics and give new users an impression about FD, plus reminds the 'old guys' what the learnd from bernoulli. P.S. please use Image = ... instead of Label = ..., this scales the picture to the default size which is also used by Template:Cosmology and others. (Sheliak 13:03, 7 September 2007 (UTC))
