Math & Science ⇒ Different Space before and after Equations

[Hermano]

Hi,

I have increased the space between my text and equations by placing these lines right after \begin{document}.

Code: Select all

\setlength{\abovedisplayskip}{16pt}
\setlength{\belowdisplayskip}{16pt}

However, the distances are not the same for each equation as can be seen in the attachment (compare equation 3.17 with 3.18).

The code I used is this.

Code: Select all

The basic aspect of the problem lies now in quantifying the coefficient of discharge~$C_d$. He showed that $C_d$ is a unique function of:
\begin{equation}
C_d = f(\Lambda_e,\overline{p}_t,geo)
\end{equation}
in which $geo$ stands for the entrance gap geometrical properties. The entrance number $\Lambda_e$ depends on the supply pressure, geometry of the bearing problem and its fluid properties:
\begin{equation}
\Lambda_e = \frac{\mu r_f}{p_s h^2}\sqrt{\frac{\Re Ts}{\kappa}}
\end{equation}
As a result, the original entrance

An adequate problem description usually consists of a self-contained and minimal example and not only of a loosely code snippet and excerpt of the output. Furthermore it is appreciated very much if you use the corresponding buttons from the list right above the input window to tag code as such.

• [ Code ] → Code block
• [ LaTeX ] → In-line code

Regarding the problem there are two other length registers to be considered.

• \abovedisplayshortskip
• \belowdisplayshortskip

They can be modified as every other length.
