  2. Taylor dispersion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_dispersion

    The analysis was later generalized by Rutherford Aris for arbitrary values of the Peclet number. The dispersion process is sometimes also referred to as the Taylor-Aris dispersion . The canonical example is that of a simple diffusing species in uniform Poiseuille flow through a uniform circular pipe with no-flux boundary conditions.

  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. Three-dimensional losses and correlation in turbomachinery

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-dimensional_losses...

    In total loss, endwall losses form the fraction of secondary losses given by Gregory-Smith, et al., 1998. Hence secondary flow theory for small flow-turning fails. Correlation for endwall losses in an axial-flow turbine is given by: ζ = ζ p + ζ ew ζ = ζ p [ 1 + ( 1 + ( 4ε / ( ρ 2 V 2 /ρ 1 V 1) 1/2) ) ( S cos α 2 - t TE)/h ]

  5. 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 ...

  6. Rayleigh's equation (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh's_equation_(fluid...

    Example of a parallel shear flow. In fluid dynamics, Rayleigh's equation or Rayleigh stability equation is a linear ordinary differential equation to study the hydrodynamic stability of a parallel, incompressible and inviscid shear flow. The equation is: [1] (″) ″ =,

  7. Two-dimensional flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-dimensional_flow

    In fluid mechanics, a two-dimensional flow is a form of fluid flow where the flow velocity at every point is parallel to a fixed plane. The velocity at any point on a given normal to that fixed plane should be constant.

  8. Computational fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_fluid_dynamics

    A computer simulation of high velocity air flow around the Space Shuttle during re-entry A simulation of the Hyper-X scramjet vehicle in operation at Mach-7. The fundamental basis of almost all CFD problems is the Navier–Stokes equations, which define many single-phase (gas or liquid, but not both) fluid flows.

  9. Shear mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_mapping

    In fluid dynamics a shear mapping depicts fluid flow between parallel plates in relative motion. In plane geometry , a shear mapping is an affine transformation that displaces each point in a fixed direction by an amount proportional to its signed distance from a given line parallel to that direction.
