    😮 Really ?
  • s
    yep, ask your nearest greek friend
  • k
    also ask italians about jacuzzi and lamborghini
  • k
    or better, don't
  • p
    can confirm. ταφ
  • f
    In France we say "Tau" as the To of Tobias
  • s
    The best is to follow a lecture of a greek about mathematics/physics... You'll really get lost in terminology...
  • s
    Took me a semester to understand the guy was talking about shear stress, and not how "tough" the wall was 😛
  • s
    I love greeks, mind you.
  • s
    (not in the French way @User )
  • p
    haha and I was shocked when I moved to the UK and realised that π is pronounced "pie" and not "pi" (as in "pee")
  • k
    our professor used $\upsilon$, $\zeta$, $\xi$ all together in a tho-hour-long derivation in a really bad handwriting. stopped following around the second minute
  • t
    kandelabr
  • k
    and $\rho$
  • s
    It's only an american/english problem, the rest of the world pronounce it correctly
  • p
    relieving to hear
  • s
    Well, Do you want me to blow your mind? $\mu$ and $\nu$ are not pronounced "MU" and "NU", but "MI", and "NI"!!! haha
  • t
    slopezcastano
  • k
    hah, i knew that 🙂
  • k
    also about pi but not about taf.
  • s
    Anyway, all greeks are NUMBERS (if you are greek you'll understand)
  • p
    hahaha
  • p
    sure I do
  • p
    This has a metaphorical meaning and I'm surprised to hear it from a non-Greek. well said though 😆 . Anyway, let's stop spamming the turbulence channel haha
  • s
    We have learned more turbulence today than in everyday discussions...
  • s
    but you're right: stop spamming now
  • z
    But kappa is the Von Karman constant, would be a nightmare to have to refer to tke with kappa as well...
  • s
    ... And kappa is also the wavenumber or spatial frequency, which appears very often in studies of turbulence alongside with TKE...
  • s
    I guess is not difficult to make the distinction in the case of RANS
  • s
    As I said in the beginning, its not an important discussion anyway
