nothing short of extraordinary, your explanations are superb!

I learned the benefits of dimensional homogeneity, interestingly, in a chem class However, the prof called it unit analyses. It's a very easy way to spot-check your equation results.

One of my new favorite channels this is awesome thanks!

[oworimichaelspencer]

Thanks alot, I'm now fully introduced to fluid mechanics👏
