  2. Dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_numbers_in...

    Dimensionless numbers (or characteristic numbers) have an important role in analyzing the behavior of fluids and their flow as well as in other transport phenomena. [1] They include the Reynolds and the Mach numbers, which describe as ratios the relative magnitude of fluid and physical system characteristics, such as density, viscosity, speed of sound, and flow speed.

  3. Fuller calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuller_calculator

    The calculator described above was called "Model No. 1" . [6] Model 2 had scales on the inner cylinder for calculating logs and sines.The "Fuller-Bakewell" model 3 had two scales of angles printed on the inner cylinder to calculate cosine² and sine ⋅ cosine [note 1] for use by engineers and surveyors for tacheometry calculations.

  4. Graduated cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graduated_cylinder

    A graduated cylinder, also known as a measuring cylinder or mixing cylinder, is a common piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid. It has a narrow cylindrical shape. Each marked line on the graduated cylinder represents the amount of liquid that has been measured.

  5. Reynolds number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds_number

    The Reynolds number is the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces within a fluid that is subjected to relative internal movement due to different fluid velocities. A region where these forces change behavior is known as a boundary layer, such as the bounding surface in the interior of a pipe.

  6. Parabolic cylinder function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_cylinder_function

    Parabolic cylinder () function appears naturally in the Schrödinger equation for the one-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator (a quantum particle in the oscillator potential), [+] = (), where is the reduced Planck constant, is the mass of the particle, is the coordinate of the particle, is the frequency of the oscillator, is the energy, and () is the particle's wave-function.

  7. Gaussian (software) - Wikipedia

    Gaussian / ˈ ɡ aʊ s i ə n / is a general purpose computational chemistry software package initially released in 1970 by John Pople [1] [2] and his research group at Carnegie Mellon University as Gaussian 70. [3] It has been continuously updated since then. [4]

  8. Potential flow around a circular cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_flow_around_a...

    The problem of potential compressible flow over circular cylinder was first studied by O. Janzen in 1913 [4] and by Lord Rayleigh in 1916 [5] with small compressible effects. Here, the small parameter is square of the Mach number = /, where c is the speed of sound. Then the solution to first-order approximation in terms of the velocity potential is

  9. Churchill–Bernstein equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Churchill–Bernstein_equation

    is the Reynolds number with the cylinder diameter as its characteristic length; Pr {\displaystyle \Pr } is the Prandtl number . The Churchill–Bernstein equation is valid for a wide range of Reynolds numbers and Prandtl numbers, as long as the product of the two is greater than or equal to 0.2, as defined above.
