  2. Boundary conditions in fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_conditions_in...

    This includes pressure inlet and outlet conditions mainly. Typical examples that utilize this boundary condition include buoyancy driven flows, internal flows with multiple outlets, free surface flows and external flows around objects. [1] An example is flow outlet into atmosphere where pressure is atmospheric.

  3. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

    A common type of this style fitting is a "hex bushing" with a hex head for installation with a pipe wrench. A double-tapped bushing is more compact than a reducer but not as flexible. While a double-tapped bushing has a more minor female thread concentric to a larger male thread (and thus couples a smaller male end to a larger female), a ...

  4. Spalart–Allmaras turbulence model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spalart–Allmaras...

    The Spalart–Allmaras model was designed specifically for aerospace applications involving wall-bounded flows and has been shown to give good results for boundary layers subjected to adverse pressure gradients. It is also gaining popularity in turbomachinery applications. In its original form, the model is effectively a low- Reynolds number ...

  5. Advection upstream splitting method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advection_upstream...

    The Advection Upstream Splitting Method (AUSM) is a numerical method used to solve the advection equation in computational fluid dynamics. It is particularly useful for simulating compressible flows with shocks and discontinuities. The AUSM is developed as a numerical inviscid flux function for solving a general system of conservation equations.

  6. PISO algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PISO_algorithm

    PISO algorithm (Pressure-Implicit with Splitting of Operators) was proposed by Issa in 1986 without iterations and with large time steps and a lesser computing effort. It is an extension of the SIMPLE algorithm used in computational fluid dynamics to solve the Navier-Stokes equations. PISO is a pressure-velocity calculation procedure for the ...

  7. Flow conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_conditioning

    A pressure outlet boundary condition is used at exit of the settling chamber where pressure at outlet is set to zero for gauge pressure. It is always possible to predict the entire flow field by meshing whole fluid domain; however simulation for the prediction of entire flow field using symmetry boundary condition.

  8. Belleville washer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belleville_washer

    A Belleville washer, also known as a coned-disc spring, [1] conical spring washer, [2] disc spring, Belleville spring or cupped spring washer, is a conical shell which can be loaded along its axis either statically or dynamically. A Belleville washer is a type of spring shaped like a washer. It is the shape, a cone frustum, that gives the ...

  9. Pin Index Safety System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_Index_Safety_System

    Pin index dimensions. The Pin Index Safety System (PISS) is a means of connecting high pressure cylinders containing medical gases to a regulator or other utilization equipment. It uses geometric features on the valve and yoke to prevent mistaken use of the wrong gas. This system is widely used worldwide for anesthesia machines, portable oxygen ...
