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.

floating equilibrium by density

An object floats with exactly the fraction ρ_object/ρ_fluid submerged. Denser than the fluid? It sinks. This is Archimedes' principle, live.

Governing equation

\frac{V _{s u b}}{V} = \frac{ρ _{o bj}}{ρ _{f l u i d}} = \frac{600}{1000} = 0.60 F_{b} = ρ_{f l u i d} g V

Reading this result: Lighter than the fluid (ρ ratio 0.60), so it floats with exactly 60% submerged — the submerged fraction equals the density ratio, and object size never changes it.
