  2. Pascal's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_law

    Pressure in water and air. Pascal's law applies for fluids. Pascal's principle is defined as: A change in pressure at any point in an enclosed incompressible fluid at rest is transmitted equally and undiminished to all points in all directions throughout the fluid, and the force due to the pressure acts at right angles to the enclosing walls.

  3. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    Taking the pressure as zero at the surface, where z is zero, the constant will be zero, so the pressure inside the fluid, when it is subject to gravity, is =. So pressure increases with depth below the surface of a liquid, as z denotes the distance from the surface of the liquid into it. Any object with a non-zero vertical depth will have ...

  4. Pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure

    The pressure a liquid exerts against the sides and bottom of a container depends on the density and the depth of the liquid. If atmospheric pressure is neglected, liquid pressure against the bottom is twice as great at twice the depth; at three times the depth, the liquid pressure is threefold; etc. Or, if the liquid is two or three times as ...

  5. Boyle's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyle's_law

    Boyle's law is a gas law, stating that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship. If volume increases, then pressure decreases and vice versa, when the temperature is held constant. Therefore, when the volume is halved, the pressure is doubled; and if the volume is doubled, the pressure is halved.

  6. Laplace pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace_pressure

    The pressure difference is caused by the surface tension of the interface between liquid and gas, or between two immiscible liquids. The Laplace pressure is determined from the Young–Laplace equation given as [2] = (+), where and are the principal radii of curvature and (also denoted as ) is the surface tension. Although signs for these ...

  7. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    Bernoulli's principle is a key concept in fluid dynamics that relates pressure, density, speed and height. Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a parcel of fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in either the pressure or the height above a datum. [1]:

  8. Fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_mechanics

    Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics concerned with the mechanics of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them. [1]: 3 It has applications in a wide range of disciplines, including mechanical, aerospace, civil, chemical, and biomedical engineering, as well as geophysics, oceanography, meteorology, astrophysics, and biology.

  9. Liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid

    A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a nearly constant volume independent of pressure. It is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid, gas, and plasma), and is the only state with a definite volume but no fixed shape.
