  2. Stokes problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_problem

    To good approximation, the flow velocity oscillations are irrotational outside the boundary layer, and potential flow theory can be applied to the oscillatory part of the motion. This significantly simplifies the solution of these flow problems, and is often applied in the irrotational flow regions of sound waves and water waves .

  3. Flow distribution in manifolds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_distribution_in_manifolds

    [4] [5] [6] A generalized model of the flow distribution in channel networks of planar fuel cells. [6] Similar to Ohm's law, the pressure drop is assumed to be proportional to the flow rates. The relationship of pressure drop, flow rate and flow resistance is described as Q 2 = ∆P/R. f = 64/Re for laminar flow where Re is the Reynolds number.

  4. Axial-flow pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial-flow_pump

    An axial-flow pump for industrial use. An axial-flow pump, or AFP, is a common type of pump that essentially consists of a propeller (an axial impeller) in a pipe.The propeller can be driven directly by a sealed motor in the pipe or by electric motor or petrol/diesel engines mounted to the pipe from the outside or by a right-angle drive shaft that pierces the pipe.

  5. Axial flux motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_flux_motor

    An axial flux motor (axial gap motor, or pancake motor) is a geometry of electric motor construction where the gap between the rotor and stator, and therefore the direction of magnetic flux between the two, is aligned parallel with the axis of rotation, rather than radially as with the concentric cylindrical geometry of the more common radial ...

  6. Turbomachinery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbomachinery

    Turbomachines can be categorized on the basis of the nature of the flow path through the passage of the rotor: [8] Axial Turbomachine's Velocity Diagram [1] Axial flow turbomachines - When the path of the through-flow is wholly or mainly parallel to the axis of rotation, the device is termed an axial flow turbomachine. [9]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_turbine

    The losses occur in an actual turbine due to disc and bearing friction. Figure shows the energy flow diagram for the impulse stage of an axial turbine. Numbers in brackets indicate the order of energy or loss corresponding to 100 units of isentropic work (h 01 – h 03ss). Energy flow diagram for the impulse stage of an axial turbine

  8. Orr–Sommerfeld equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orr–Sommerfeld_equation

    The Orr–Sommerfeld equation, in fluid dynamics, is an eigenvalue equation describing the linear two-dimensional modes of disturbance to a viscous parallel flow. The solution to the Navier–Stokes equations for a parallel, laminar flow can become unstable if certain conditions on the flow are satisfied, and the Orr–Sommerfeld equation determines precisely what the conditions for ...

  9. Law of the wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_wall

    law of the wall, horizontal velocity near the wall with mixing length model. In fluid dynamics, the law of the wall (also known as the logarithmic law of the wall) states that the average velocity of a turbulent flow at a certain point is proportional to the logarithm of the distance from that point to the "wall", or the boundary of the fluid region.
