    A meander is one of a series of ... From Bernoulli's equations, ... In a pool direction of flow is downward, scouring the bed material. The major volume, however ...

  3. Meander (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meander_(mathematics)

    Given a fixed line L in the Euclidean plane, a meander of order n is a self-avoiding closed curve in the plane that crosses the line at 2n points. Two meanders are equivalent if one meander can be continuously deformed into the other while maintaining its property of being a meander and leaving the order of the bridges on the road, in the order in which they are crossed, invariant.

  4. Volumetric flow rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_flow_rate

    Volumetric flow rate is defined by the limit [3] = ˙ = =, that is, the flow of volume of fluid V through a surface per unit time t.. Since this is only the time derivative of volume, a scalar quantity, the volumetric flow rate is also a scalar quantity.

  6. Volumetric flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_flux

    In fluid dynamics, the volumetric flux is the rate of volume flow across a unit area (m 3 ·s −1 ·m −2), and has dimensions of distance/time (volume/(time*area)) - equivalent to mean velocity. The density of a particular property in a fluid's volume, multiplied with the volumetric flux of the fluid, thus defines the advective flux of that ...

  7. Volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume

    Some SI units of volume to scale and approximate corresponding mass of water. To ease calculations, a unit of volume is equal to the volume occupied by a unit cube (with a side length of one). Because the volume occupies three dimensions, if the metre (m) is chosen as a unit of length, the corresponding unit of volume is the cubic metre (m 3).

  8. Tortuosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortuosity

    A tortuous river (meander of Nowitna River, Alaska) Tortuosity is widely used as a critical parameter to predict transport properties of porous media, such as rocks and soils. But unlike other standard microstructural properties, the concept of tortuosity is vague with multiple definitions and various evaluation methods introduced in different ...

  9. Derivation of the Navier–Stokes equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivation_of_the_Navier...

    The equations are derived from the basic principles of continuity of mass, conservation of momentum, and conservation of energy. Sometimes it is necessary to consider a finite arbitrary volume, called a control volume, over which these principles can be applied. This finite volume is denoted by Ω and its bounding surface ∂Ω. The control ...
