  2. Jet (fluid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_(fluid)

    A relativistic jet emitted from galaxy M87, as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope. A jet is a stream of fluid that is projected into a surrounding medium, usually from some kind of a nozzle, aperture or orifice. [1] Jets can travel long distances [quantify] without dissipating. Jet fluid has higher speed compared to the surrounding fluid medium.

  3. Coandă effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coandă_effect

    The ball "sticks" to the lower side of the air stream, which stops the ball from falling down. The jet as a whole keeps the ball some distance from the jet exhaust, and gravity prevents it from being blown away. The Coandă effect (/ ˈ k w ɑː n d ə / or / ˈ k w æ-/) is the tendency of a fluid jet to stay attached to a surface of any form. [1]

  4. Quizlet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quizlet

    Quizlet is a multi-national American company that provides tools for studying and learning. [1] Quizlet was founded in October 2005 by Andrew Sutherland, who at the time was a 15-year old student, [ 2 ] and released to the public in January 2007. [ 3 ]

  5. Plume (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plume_(fluid_dynamics)

    Plume shapes can be influenced by flow in the ambient fluid (for example, if local wind blowing in the same direction as the plume results in a co-flowing jet). This usually causes a plume which has initially been 'buoyancy-dominated' to become 'momentum-dominated' (this transition is usually predicted by a dimensionless number called the ...

  6. Propelling nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propelling_nozzle

    Convergent nozzles are used on many jet engines. If the nozzle pressure ratio is above the critical value (about 1.8:1) a convergent nozzle will choke, resulting in some of the expansion to atmospheric pressure taking place downstream of the throat (i.e., smallest flow area), in the jet wake. Although jet momentum still produces much of the ...

  7. Bipolar outflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_outflow

    The presence of a magnetic field causes the eventual ejection and collimation of the matter, forming a bipolar outflow or jet. In both cases, bipolar outflows consist largely of molecular gas. They can travel at tens or possibly even hundreds of kilometers per second, and in the case of young stars extend over a parsec in length.

  8. Synthetic jet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_Jet

    In fluid dynamics, a synthetic jet flow—is a type of jet flow, which is made up of the surrounding fluid. [1] Synthetic jets are produced by periodic ejection and suction of fluid from an opening. This oscillatory motion may be driven by a piston or diaphragm inside a cavity among other ways.

  9. Entrainment (hydrodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrainment_(hydrodynamics)

    In power generation, this phenomenon is used in steam jet air ejectors to maintain condenser vacuum by removing non-condensible gases from the condenser. In theorical aerodynamics applications the entrainment velocity , which expresses the rate of change of the entrainment, is often used to solve the von Kármán integral for turbulent boundary ...
