  2. 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]

  3. 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.

  4. Torricelli's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torricelli's_law

    Torricelli's law describes the parting speed of a jet of water, based on the distance below the surface at which the jet starts, assuming no air resistance, viscosity, or other hindrance to the fluid flow. This diagram shows several such jets, vertically aligned, leaving the reservoir horizontally.

  5. 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. [2] [3] [4]

  6. Water injection (engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_injection_(engine)

    In internal combustion engines, water injection, also known as anti-detonant injection (ADI), can spray water into the incoming air or fuel-air mixture, or directly into the combustion chamber to cool certain parts of the induction system where "hot points" could produce premature ignition.

  7. Vena contracta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vena_contracta

    The coefficient of contraction is defined as the ratio between the area of the jet at the vena contracta and the area of the orifice. C c = Area at vena contracta/Area of orifice. The typical value may be taken as 0.611 for a sharp orifice (concentric with the flow channel). [2] [3] The smaller the value, the greater the effect the vena ...

  8. Air bubble entrainment (hydraulics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_bubble_entrainment...

    In hydraulic engineering, air bubble entrainment is defined as the entrapment of air bubbles and pockets that are advected within the turbulent flow. [1] The entrainment of air packets can be localised or continuous along the air–water interface. Examples of localised aeration include air entrainment by plunging water jet and at hydraulic ...

  9. High pressure jet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_pressure_jet

    Contour animation of the mole fraction variation (from 0.025 to 0.05) of a Natural Gas jet as it impinges a steel tank done through CFD.. A high pressure jet is a stream of pressurized fluid that is released from an environment at a significantly higher pressure than ambient pressure from a nozzle or orifice, due to operational or accidental release.
