Governing equation

\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + (u \cdot \nabla) u = - \frac{\nabla p}{ρ} + 1.0 e - 7 \nabla^{2} u, \nabla \cdot u = 0

Reading this result: Near-zero viscosity: momentum barely dissipates, so vortices persist and the flow tips into turbulent, chaotic mixing.

Decibels are logarithmic, so loudness does not add the way you expect: two identical sources are only 3 dB louder than one, and ten are 10 dB. Meanwhile a point source drops 6 dB every time the distance doubles (the inverse-square law). Sustained exposure above 85 dB risks hearing damage.

Governing equation

L = 85.0 - 20 lo g_{10} (4) = 73.0 dB

Reading this result: A single source falls from 85 dB to 73 dB across 4 m — about 6 dB lost each time the distance doubles.
