If you wanted to model a filter in an airflow using CFD, how would you go about it? I imagine that an exact model of a filter would be way too complex to model and take vast amounts of time to solve, so there must be some kind of simplification? I was thinking that maybe some known properties of...

Ok I got an equation here... 2\sqrt {\frac{{(1 + 2t^4 )^2 }}{{t^6 }}} is the equation (sorry for misleading title but its the same concept). Now I was always under the assumption that the top square could be removed as long as you reduce the bottom to t^3 since t^3 squared is t^6 and that you...

Beyond the basics (mean, variance, distributions, simple test, regression, ...) statistics looks like a huge mess -to me- . Any method has typically 10 variants and can be 'colored' in 10 flavors, not to mention technicalities like missing data handling, binary data, ... and people's names...
