    Abstract: It is a major misconception that freely falling reference frames are inertial in a gravitational field. This is one outcome when employing Einstein’s principle of equivalence between a dynamical acceleration and a homogeneous gravity, which does not exist technically in nature, because gravity is radial from all mass centers, even at nearly infinit...

    Abstract: Two dimensional steady Stokes flow around a circular cylinder is examined in the light of complex variable theory and a circle theorem for the flow, are established. The theorem gives a complex variable expression of the velocity for a Stokes flow external to a circular cylinder, in terms of the same variable expression of the velocity for a slow a... Show More

    Abstract: In this research article, a set of dimensional physical quantities is transformed into a dimensionless group (or ratio). For a given set of dimensional variables, the physical variables represent the rows and their dimensions represent the columns of a dimensions-matrix. The dimensions-matrix is rearranged both column- and row-wise. The columns are... Show More
