The Diffusion Equation Part 2: Dimensional Analysis and Self-Similarity

from Professor Dave Explains Hosted by Professor Dave Explains

In the previous tutorial we introduced the wave equation, and learned one way to solve it. Now let's look at another method for getting a solution. This will require that we brush up on dimensional analysis, so let's get to it!Script by Lorcan NichollsWatch the whole Differential Equations playlist: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveDiffeqWatch the whole Mathematics playlist: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveMathClassical Physics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics1Modern Physics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics2General Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveGenChemOrganic Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveOrgChemBiochemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBiochemBiology Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBioEMAIL► [email protected]► http://patreon.com/ProfessorDaveExplainsCheck out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!Amazon: https://amzn.to/2HtNpVHBookshop: https://bit.ly/39cKADMBarnes and Noble: https://bit.ly/3pUjmrn
