Temporal Flow Evolution
Temporal Flow Evolution: Formulating the Equation of Change In this post, I'm considering an equation that models how flows evolve over time. This equation is given by: ∂ f ∂ T = L ( f , ∇ f , ∂ f ∂ T ) \frac{\partial f}{\partial T} = L(f, \nabla f, \frac{\partial f}{\partial T}) This equation describes how the flow values f f change over what we can refer to as temporal progression. It incorporates: f f : the flow values representing the state of the system at any time. ∇ f \nabla f : the spatial gradient of flow, which describes how the flow varies across space. ∂ f ∂ T \frac{\partial f}{\partial T} : the rate of change of flow over time. Now, this equation contains the term ∂ f ∂ T \frac{\partial f}{\partial T} on both sides, leading to a potentially recursive structure. To simplify this, we refine it as: ∂ f ∂ T = L ( f , ∇ f ) \frac{\partial f}{\partial T} = L(f, \nabla f) Here, L L is an operator that governs the dynamics of flow evolution, capturing the essential...
