Modified Navier–Stokes and Decision Process Theory

Jerry Thomas

As a next step in investigating decision process theory, Jerry Thomas considers steady-state non-streamline solutions to a 3D model. The equations are modified Navier–Stokes equations. Using NDSolve, he shows that these steady-state solutions are not dissimilar to fluid flow solutions despite the modifications. The solutions confirm a result from looking at 2D streamline solutions: they yield stable structures, ones that might be expected from physical fluid flows.
