  2. Max-flow min-cut theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max-flow_min-cut_theorem

    Each pipe has a capacity representing the maximum amount of water that can flow through it per unit of time. The max-flow min-cut theorem tells us that the maximum amount of water that can reach the city is limited by the smallest total capacity of any set of pipes that, if cut, would completely isolate the reservoir from the city.

  3. Choked flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choked_flow

    The flow of real gases through thin-plate orifices never becomes fully choked. The mass flow rate through the orifice continues to increase as the downstream pressure is lowered to a perfect vacuum, though the mass flow rate increases slowly as the downstream pressure is reduced below the critical pressure. [10]

  4. Reynolds number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds_number

    For flow in a pipe of diameter D, experimental observations show that for "fully developed" flow, [n 2] laminar flow occurs when Re D < 2300 and turbulent flow occurs when Re D > 2900. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] At the lower end of this range, a continuous turbulent-flow will form, but only at a very long distance from the inlet of the pipe.

  5. Dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_numbers_in...

    Dimensionless numbers (or characteristic numbers) have an important role in analyzing the behavior of fluids and their flow as well as in other transport phenomena. [1] They include the Reynolds and the Mach numbers, which describe as ratios the relative magnitude of fluid and physical system characteristics, such as density, viscosity, speed of sound, and flow speed.

  6. Flow distribution in manifolds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_distribution_in_manifolds

    [4] [5] [6] A generalized model of the flow distribution in channel networks of planar fuel cells. [6] Similar to Ohm's law, the pressure drop is assumed to be proportional to the flow rates. The relationship of pressure drop, flow rate and flow resistance is described as Q 2 = ∆P/R. f = 64/Re for laminar flow where Re is the Reynolds number.

  7. Hagen–Poiseuille equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagen–Poiseuille_equation

    The laminar flow through a pipe of uniform (circular) cross-section is known as Hagen–Poiseuille flow. The equations governing the Hagen–Poiseuille flow can be derived directly from the Navier–Stokes momentum equations in 3D cylindrical coordinates ( r , θ , x ) by making the following set of assumptions:

  8. Maximum flow problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_flow_problem

    Maximum flow value(G) =. If there exists a circulation, looking at the max-flow solution would give the answer as to how much goods have to be sent on a particular road for satisfying the demands. The problem can be extended by adding a lower bound on the flow on some edges. [30]

  9. Kantrowitz limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kantrowitz_limit

    The Kantrowitz limit therefore acts a "speed limit" - for a given ratio of tube area and pod area, there is a maximum speed that the pod can travel before flow around the pod chokes and air resistance sharply increases. [5] In order to break through the speed limit set by the Kantrowitz limit, there are two possible approaches.
