If you load the wiki page on Solid
Mechanics, you see an image of fluid flow and a reference to NS eqns via this toolbox. While I understand the connection via continuum mechanics, I think this would be very misleading/confusing to the casual observer. I suggest eliminating the image and equation. If you want to replace it with something, I would suggest using something that refers to the overall concept of continuum mechanics (relationship btwn characteristic length and mean free path, for example).

I find the current image and subtitle on this box misleading/confusing. The current image is a flow visualization and it currently says "Navier Stokes equations" below it. Since this toolbox covers many pages that are only tangentially related to fluids (e.g. solid mechanics page), it is confusing.

image, would you mind if we use this one ? It looks good, it has more to do with physics and give new users an impression about FD, plus reminds the 'old guys' what the learnd from bernoulli. P.S. please use Image = ... instead of Label = ..., this scales the picture to the default size which is also

Moreover, Knowledge (XXG) is not a textbook, it is a reference work. Few if any readers will want to read several articles of discipline in the sequence presented by a navbox. Readers almost always get to an article by searching for a specific topic, or by following a link embedded in the

Jepp, in a war you're right. But I think a small picture makes the whole template a bit more attractive, as just a plain navigation template, it's some sort of an eye-catcher. And actually the continuity equation is one of the basic formula for all topics in cm. But if you find a better

Do we real ly need this equation as the header of this template?? It is applicable to only some of the topics. And it's a distraction. This template is supposed to be a navigation template. The equation does not help a user one whit in finding his/her way to the various articles.
