(Though jobless for almost a year by now, and despite carrying as bad a history of joblessness before it as I do, I think I could still shell out Rs. 350/- without (yet) having to borrow the sum from someone else. I don't have to do that as of today; Diwali is still more than a month away.) <br /><br />In the meanwhile, an irresponsible question (which only an ignorant could possibly muster with as much ease as I do): It's clear that the sand, the Milky Way, the bar code and the back cover of a book are all porous media. Also, the computer keyboards and monitor screens. But one (at least transiently) irrepressible question immediately arising to the mind is this: Do you guys also regard the P/M (long form: powder-metallurgical) bearings as porous? In your opinion, is it a fruit hanging low enough to try and model the related flows, esp. using LBM, say, in some tribologically interesting context (even if the computer simulation is not very sophisticated or "multiphysics" enough, and not very useful enough---not at least in the immediate future)? Could you please point out, say, a review article that shows the lay of the land for research in this area, in case you are aware of it? (And, further: could you share a preprint of it?) Thanks in advance. <br /><br />I wrote this all in a public blog comment primarily because one technical email I wrote you in the past had gone unanswered; it was concerning the singularities in the fluid fields, in case you remember it (i.e. in case it was not thrown out by the spam filter at IITM). Never mind; I have since then stumbled on the answer myself. <br /><br />Your own advice on book-writing is well taken, as is the advice you received from that 600+ papers guy.<br /><br />Look forward to hearing from you, and congratulations, again.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />Ajit<br />[E&OE]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
