    They are related reasons due to ignition and boundary layer effects (too long to get into). My research discipline is combustor based for jet engines...and there is key reason we use annular geometry as the basis....it is related to both navier stokes and surface area maximised by annular. That...

    How Emmanuel Macron wants to retaliate against Erdogan

    I am not. Why would I be? You can call me anything to your heart's desire. You mean zilch to me...you don't even know me.

    A fairly good article on the underlying issue: https://www.ft.com/content/cb70275f-8b7d-453c-9184-6d65815a8b10 No one forced Erdogan admin to choose this policy of loan intake and infra spend (over say RnD and esp export-based factories). This is the main driver in the decline of Lira right...

    That's driven mostly by the relative inflation of the currencies...Turkey seem to be around 10% inflation in this stretch of years, CHN around 2%...so 8% difference yearly that compounds when you trade even same set of goods and take same set of loans etc. Poor day by day would be more on PPP...

    How Emmanuel Macron wants to retaliate against Erdogan

    Quick question (and then my take on this issue and a larger issue beyond that): If a Muslim (in whatever definition...let me go by the basic one that submits to the Quran as his/her central tenet of faith) is offended by these cartoons in some significant way, does that not mean he/she is first...

    What is quite concerning is Turkey has lost about 10 billion dollars in forex reserve in last 2 months (I assume some portion of this to defend the Lira and another portion the increasing debt repayments). TR. Total forex incl gold. (USD): July = 90 billion August = 84 billion September = 80...

    Azad Kashmir claim on Gilgit Baltistan

    I think Pakistan is more than capable of solving the issue peacefully even right now. The ingredients are all there, the recipe is no big secret, the best cooks can all be found....but they at the top just need to be willing to have the good soup be made and served. It is the one thing about...

    Azad Kashmir claim on Gilgit Baltistan

    Will you suggest one for Eastern Turkey? If not, then I fail to see how "peace of mind" argument applies anywhere else. How a country comes into being, the process is very important, the constitution is extremely important in what the scopes it sets out legally...including referenda. I mean...

    Azad Kashmir claim on Gilgit Baltistan

    If issue is full control over a river....Pakistan could have made it clear by not entering into any negotiation for this river system....much less signing a treaty....and making it very clear complete physical territorial control of a river(s) was the only position they could accept. If every...

    Azad Kashmir claim on Gilgit Baltistan

    I don't get the river argument, would it also have extended to the ganges and brahmaputra given East Pakistan's reality? There are ways to settle river water sharing peacefully....that is exactly what was done with the IWT. Besides J&K coming to Pakistan (democratically) being a sure bet would...

    Azad Kashmir claim on Gilgit Baltistan

    65k troops is not 2 full divisions. It would be about 4 full divisions or maybe 3 full divisions with a lot of independent brigades. The PA divisions on ground (at varying strength, some adhoc) were: 9th 14th 16th 36th (this was just 93rd brigade though it seems) 39th There was an independent...

    There have been no new reports of Canadian diplomats coming down with mysterious symptoms of what’s become known as “Havana Syndrome” in nearly two years — and no answers for those affected. That’s despite new reports from the New York Times and GQ Magazine that American intelligence sources...
