I have been looking into how the overall viscosity of a liquid/gas is related to kinematic and dynamic viscosities.
I have used nwater = 1e-3 Pa.s
nair = 17.4e-6 Pa.s
densitywater = 1000 kgm^-3
densityair = 1.3 kgm^3
and kinematic viscosity v = n/density
So vair ~ 1.4e-5
vwater ~...

Sometimes we need to calculate the evolution of the scalar field \phi with the equation of motion
\frac{\partial^2 \phi}{\partial t^2}+3H\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}+m_\phi^2 \phi = 0.
And we can get the field
\phi=Ae^{im_\phi t}
where A is the amplitude of the scalar field (damped by...
