  2. Ripple tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_tank

    By placing a metal bar in the tank and tapping the wooden bar a pulse of three or four ripples can be sent towards the metal bar. The ripples reflect from the bar. If the bar is placed at an angle to the wavefront the reflected waves can be seen to obey the law of reflection. The angle of incidence and angle of reflection will be the same.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dish_drying_cabinet

    A dish draining cabinet in a Finnish home. A dish drying cabinet (Finnish astiankuivauskaappi) is a piece of kitchen shelving placed above the sink, with an open bottom and shelves made of steel wire or dowels to allow washed dishes set within to drip into the sink and air dry.

  5. Shaft sinking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaft_sinking

    Shallow shafts, typically sunk for civil engineering projects, differ greatly in execution method from deep shafts, typically sunk for mining projects. Shaft sinking is one of the most difficult of all mining development methods: restricted space, gravity, groundwater and specialized procedures make the task quite formidable. [ 2 ]

  6. Dishwasher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dishwasher

    A dishwasher containing clean dishes. A dishwasher is a machine that is used to clean dishware, cookware, and cutlery automatically. Unlike manual dishwashing, which relies on physical scrubbing to remove soiling, the mechanical dishwasher cleans by spraying hot water, typically between 45 and 75 °C (110 and 170 °F), at the dishes, with lower temperatures of water used for delicate items.

  7. Squat effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squat_effect

    The squat effect is the hydrodynamic phenomenon by which a vessel moving through shallow water creates an area of reduced pressure that causes the ship to increase its draft (alternatively decrease the underkeel clearance of the vessel in marine terms) and thereby be closer to the seabed than would otherwise be expected.

  8. Shallow water equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shallow_water_equations

    The shallow-water equations (SWE) are a set of hyperbolic partial differential equations (or parabolic if viscous shear is considered) that describe the flow below a pressure surface in a fluid (sometimes, but not necessarily, a free surface). [1] The shallow-water equations in unidirectional form are also called (de) Saint-Venant equations ...

  9. Mouth bar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouth_bar

    Sediment erosion and deposition dynamics in estuarine region, consequently the formation and growth of mouth bars, are affected by several natural and artificial factors. . Human activities, such as reservoir construction, large-scale reclamation and embankment construction completely disturb the hydrodynamic balance of the system and permanently interfere with the morphology of mouth bars.
