  2. Two-dimensional flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-dimensional_flow

    In fluid mechanics, a two-dimensional flow is a form of fluid flow where the flow velocity at every point is parallel to a fixed plane. The velocity at any point on a ...

  3. List of dimensionless quantities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dimensionless...

    This is a list of well-known dimensionless quantities illustrating their variety of forms and applications. The tables also include pure numbers , dimensionless ratios, or dimensionless physical constants ; these topics are discussed in the article.

  4. Stream function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_function

    The two-dimensional (or Lagrange) stream function, introduced by Joseph Louis Lagrange in 1781, [1] is defined for incompressible (divergence-free), two-dimensional flows. The Stokes stream function , named after George Gabriel Stokes , [ 2 ] is defined for incompressible, three-dimensional flows with axisymmetry .

  5. Fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_mechanics

    Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics concerned with the mechanics of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them. [1]: 3 It has applications in a wide range of disciplines, including mechanical, aerospace, civil, chemical, and biomedical engineering, as well as geophysics, oceanography, meteorology, astrophysics, and biology.

  6. Strain-rate tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain-rate_tensor

    A two-dimensional flow that, at the highlighted point, has only a strain rate component, with no mean velocity or rotational component. In continuum mechanics, the strain-rate tensor or rate-of-strain tensor is a physical quantity that describes the rate of change of the strain (i.e., the relative deformation) of a material in the neighborhood of a certain point, at a certain moment of time.

  7. Elementary flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_flow

    Generic flow patterns can be also de-composed in terms of multipole expansions, in the same manner as for electric and magnetic fields where the monopole is essentially the first non-trivial (e.g. constant) term of the expansion. This flow pattern is also both irrotational and incompressible. This is characterized by a cylindrical symmetry:

  8. Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehensive_two...

    Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography, or GC×GC, is a multidimensional gas chromatography technique that was originally described in 1984 by J. Calvin Giddings [1] and first successfully implemented in 1991 by John Phillips and his student Zaiyou Liu. [2] GC×GC utilizes two different columns with two different stationary phases. In ...

  9. Two-dimensional chromatography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-dimensional_chromatography

    Two-dimensional chromatography is a type of chromatographic technique in which the injected sample is separated by passing through two different separation stages. Two different chromatographic columns are connected in sequence, and the effluent from the first system is transferred onto the second column. [ 1 ]
