  2. Hydrodynamical helicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrodynamical_helicity

    Helicity is a pseudo-scalar quantity: it changes sign under change from a right-handed to a left-handed frame of reference; it can be considered as a measure of the handedness (or chirality) of the flow. Helicity is one of the four known integral invariants of the Euler equations; the other three are energy, momentum and angular momentum.

  3. Enstrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enstrophy

    In fluid dynamics, the enstrophy can be interpreted as another type of potential density; or, more concretely, the quantity directly related to the kinetic energy in the flow model that corresponds to dissipation effects in the fluid.

  4. Helicity (particle physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicity_(particle_physics)

    This is the helicity h representation. There is also another unitary representation which transforms non-trivially under the SE(2) translations. This is the continuous spin representation. In d + 1 dimensions, the little group is the double cover of SE(d − 1) (the case where d ≤ 2 is more complicated because of anyons, etc.).

  5. Entrainment (hydrodynamics) - Wikipedia

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

    Eductors can pump out whatever can flow through them, including water, oil, and small pieces of wood. Another example is the pump-jet, which is used for marine propulsion. Jet pumps are also used to circulate reactor coolant in several designs of boiling water nuclear reactor.

  6. Zimm–Bragg model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimm–Bragg_model

    In statistical mechanics, the Zimm–Bragg model is a helix-coil transition model that describes helix-coil transitions of macromolecules, usually polymer chains. Most models provide a reasonable approximation of the fractional helicity of a given polypeptide; the Zimm–Bragg model differs by incorporating the ease of propagation (self-replication) with respect to nucleation.

  7. Total dynamic head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_dynamic_head

    In fluid dynamics, total dynamic head (TDH) is the work to be done by a pump, per unit weight, per unit volume of fluid.TDH is the total amount of system pressure, measured in feet, where water can flow through a system before gravity takes over, and is essential for pump specification.

  8. Discharge coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discharge_coefficient

    In a nozzle or other constriction, the discharge coefficient (also known as coefficient of discharge or efflux coefficient) is the ratio of the actual discharge to the ideal discharge, [1] i.e., the ratio of the mass flow rate at the discharge end of the nozzle to that of an ideal nozzle which expands an identical working fluid from the same initial conditions to the same exit pressures.

  9. Viscosity models for mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_models_for_mixtures

    = where a = water, oil, gas and K {\displaystyle \mathbf {K} } and K r a {\displaystyle \mathbf {K} _{ra}} are absolute and relative permeability, respectively. These 3 (vector) equations models flow of water, oil and natural gas in subsurface oil and gas reservoirs in porous rocks.
