    2D Schroedinger eq. vs Bohr's model?

    For low values of n, Bohr's model fails to reproduce the value of the square of angular momentum, and the repulsion angles But Bohr model is basically a planar model... so the question should be, if we solve the hydrogen atom potential in a 2D equation, is it still different? The eigenvalues of...

    Exploring the Effects of Viscosity on 2D Flow Drag

    Hi! I'm a bit confused about the source of drag in a 2D flow (actually I'm talking about air). I heard that if the viscosity of a fluid is 0 then there is no drag at all (no pressure and no friction drag). I think I understand why viscosity affects friction drag, but why does it have an effect...
