The no-slip condition is an empirical assumption that has been useful in modelling many macroscopic experiments. It was one of three alternatives that were the subject of contention in the 19th century, with the other two being the stagnant-layer (a thin layer of stationary fluid on which the rest of the fluid flows) and the partial slip (a finite relative velocity between solid and fluid ...
Also apophthegm. A terse, pithy saying, akin to a proverb, maxim, or aphorism. aposiopesis A rhetorical device in which speech is broken off abruptly and the sentence is left unfinished. apostrophe A figure of speech in which a speaker breaks off from addressing the audience (e.g., in a play) and directs speech to a third party such as an opposing litigant or some other individual, sometimes ...
This page needs a simple and yet complex explanation of no slip condition, as it is only those who know a thing or two about fuild flow will understand this page, and i don't mean know a thing or two as in the water flows down the pipe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.79.15.101 21:00, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
In literature, a number of different types of lapsus are named depending on context: [8] lapsus linguae (pl. same): slip of the tongue; lapsus calami: slip of the pen [9] lapsus manus: slip of the hand; a synonym for lapsus calami; lapsus clavis: slip of the key (implying a typewriter or computer keyboard) lapsus memoriae: slip of memory
Speak is written for young adults and middle/high school students. Labeled a problem novel, it centers on a character who gains the strength to overcome her trauma. [1] [2] The rape troubles Melinda as she struggles with wanting to repress the memory of the event, while simultaneously desiring to speak about it. [2]
The derivation of Stokes' law, which is used to calculate the drag force on small particles, assumes a no-slip condition which is no longer correct at high Knudsen numbers. The Cunningham slip correction factor allows predicting the drag force on a particle moving a fluid with Knudsen number between the continuum regime and free molecular flow.

The difficulty in classifying slippery slope arguments is that there is no clear consensus in the literature as to how terminology should be used. It has been said that whilst these two fallacies "have a relationship which may justify treating them together", they are also distinct, and "the fact that they share a name is unfortunate". [8]
