I'm looking for a parabolic heat/fluid physical system

May 25, 2007 4 Replies

I'm looking for a parabolic heat or fluid mechanics system described be a parabolic PDE-with both space and time second derivative. It's aimed for illustration for my theoretical results. Have You any idea ?

There are a number of spun mercury astronomical reflectors which I suppose could be described as achieving a parabolic surface by fluid dynamic means. Any good?

... the wave equation is an example. vibrations of stuctures would be as well.
