  2. Boundary conditions in fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_conditions_in...

    Showing wall boundary condition. The most common boundary that comes upon in confined fluid flow problems is the wall of the conduit. The appropriate requirement is called the no-slip boundary condition, wherein the normal component of velocity is fixed at zero, and the tangential component is set equal to the velocity of the wall. [1]

  3. List of tectonic plate interactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tectonic_plate...

    These are also known as collision boundaries. Subduction zones occur where an oceanic plate meets a continental plate and is pushed underneath it. Subduction zones are marked by oceanic trenches. The descending end of the oceanic plate melts and creates pressure in the mantle, causing volcanoes to form.

  4. Petrogenetic grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrogenetic_grid

    Experimentally determined mineral or mineral-assemblage stability ranges are plotted as metamorphic reaction boundaries in a pressure–temperature cartesian coordinate system to produce a petrogenetic grid for a particular rock composition. The regions of overlap of the stability fields of minerals form equilibrium mineral assemblages used to ...

  5. Flow separation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_separation

    In fluid dynamics, flow separation or boundary layer separation is the detachment of a boundary layer from a surface into a wake. [1] A boundary layer exists whenever there is relative movement between a fluid and a solid surface with viscous forces present in the layer of fluid close to the surface. The flow can be externally, around a body ...

  6. Boundary conditions in computational fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_conditions_in...

    Fig 1 Formation of grid in cfd. Almost every computational fluid dynamics problem is defined under the limits of initial and boundary conditions. When constructing a staggered grid, it is common to implement boundary conditions by adding an extra node across the physical boundary.

  7. Falkner–Skan boundary layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falkner–Skan_boundary_layer

    The basis of the Falkner-Skan approach are the Prandtl boundary layer equations. Ludwig Prandtl [2] simplified the equations for fluid flowing along a wall (wedge) by dividing the flow into two areas: one close to the wall dominated by viscosity, and one outside this near-wall boundary layer region where viscosity can be neglected without significant effects on the solution.

  8. Contact (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_(geology)

    A geological contact is a boundary which separates one rock body from another. [1] A contact can be formed during deposition, by the intrusion of magma, [2] or through faulting or other deformation of rock beds that brings distinct rock bodies into contact.

  9. Pressure-temperature-time path - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-temperature-time_path

    A high pressure-low temperature (HPLT) belt [42] [43] A low pressure-high temperature (LPHT) belt [42] [43] The HPLT metamorphic belt is located along subduction zones, and commonly associated with a clockwise P-T-t path. [42] [44] The HPLT condition is resulted from crustal thickening due to convergence meanwhile without being heated by magma ...
