  2. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    The force it then exerts on the string from which it hangs would be 10 newtons minus the 3 newtons of buoyant force: 10 − 3 = 7 newtons. Buoyancy reduces the apparent weight of objects that have sunk completely to the sea-floor. It is generally easier to lift an object through the water than it is to pull it out of the water.

  3. Calculation of buoyancy flows and flows inside buildings

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculation_of_buoyancy...

    The momentum equation in the direction of gravity should be modeled for buoyant forces resulting from buoyancy. [1] Hence the momentum equation is given by ∂ρv/∂t + V.∇(ρv)= -g((ρ-ρ°) - ∇P+μ∇ 2 v + S v. In the above equation -g((ρ-ρ°) is the buoyancy term, where ρ° is the reference density.

    The force it then exerts on the string from which it hangs would be 10 newtons minus the 3 newtons of buoyancy force: 10 − 3 = 7 newtons. Buoyancy reduces the apparent weight of objects that have sunk completely to the sea floor. It is generally easier to lift an object up through the water than it is to pull it out of the water.

  5. Neutral buoyancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_buoyancy

    Neutral buoyancy occurs when an object's average density is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed, resulting in the buoyant force balancing the force of gravity that would otherwise cause the object to sink (if the body's density is greater than the density of the fluid in which it is immersed) or rise (if it is less).

  6. Stack effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_effect

    The stack effect or chimney effect is the movement of air into and out of buildings through unsealed openings, chimneys, flue-gas stacks, or other purposefully designed openings or containers, resulting from air buoyancy. Buoyancy occurs due to a difference in indoor-to-outdoor air density resulting from temperature and moisture differences ...

  7. 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.

  8. Convective available potential energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convective_available...

    More technically, CAPE is the integrated amount of work that the upward (positive) buoyancy force would perform on a given mass of air (called an air parcel) if it rose vertically through the entire atmosphere. Positive CAPE will cause the air parcel to rise, while negative CAPE will cause the air parcel to sink.

  9. Lift (force) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_(force)

    The net force exerted by the air occurs as a pressure difference over the airfoil's surfaces. [82] Pressure in a fluid is always positive in an absolute sense, [83] so that pressure must always be thought of as pushing, and never as pulling. The pressure thus pushes inward on the airfoil everywhere on both the upper and lower surfaces.
