  2. Strain-rate tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain-rate_tensor

    A two-dimensional flow that, at the highlighted point, has only a strain rate component, with no mean velocity or rotational component. In continuum mechanics, the strain-rate tensor or rate-of-strain tensor is a physical quantity that describes the rate of change of the strain (i.e., the relative deformation) of a material in the neighborhood of a certain point, at a certain moment of time.

  3. Shear rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_rate

    For the simple shear case, it is just a gradient of velocity in a flowing material. The SI unit of measurement for shear rate is s −1, expressed as "reciprocal seconds" or "inverse seconds". [1] However, when modelling fluids in 3D, it is common to consider a scalar value for the shear rate by calculating the second invariant of the strain ...

  4. Shear velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_velocity

    Shear velocity scales well to rates of dispersion and bedload sediment transport. A general rule is that the shear velocity is between 5% and 10% of the mean flow velocity. For river base case, the shear velocity can be calculated by Manning's equation. = (/) n is the Gauckler–Manning coefficient. Units for values of n are often left off ...

  5. Shell balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_Balance

    To perform a shell balance, follow the following basic steps: Find momentum from shear stress.(Momentum from Shear Stress Into System) - (Momentum from Shear Stress Out of System). Momentum from Shear Stress goes into the shell at y and leaves the system at y + Δy. Shear stress = τ yx, area = A, momentum = τ yx A. Find momentum from the flow.

  6. Upper-convected Maxwell model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper-convected_Maxwell_model

    For this case only two components of the shear stress became non-zero: = ˙ and = ˙ where ˙ is the shear rate.. Thus, the upper-convected Maxwell model predicts for the simple shear that shear stress to be proportional to the shear rate and the first difference of normal stresses is proportional to the square of the shear rate, the second difference of normal stresses is always zero.

  7. Stream power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_power

    Where τ is the shear stress, S is the slope of the water, ρ is the density of water (1000 kg/m 3), g is acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s 2). [14] Shear stress can be used to compute the unit stream power using the formula = Where V is the velocity of the water in the stream. [14]

  8. Simple shear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_shear

    A rod under torsion is a practical example for a body under simple shear. [5] If e 1 is the fixed reference orientation in which line elements do not deform during the deformation and e 1 − e 2 is the plane of deformation, then the deformation gradient in simple shear can be expressed as

  9. Shear stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_stress

    The formula to calculate average shear stress τ or force per unit area is: [1] =, where F is the force applied and A is the cross-sectional area.. The area involved corresponds to the material face parallel to the applied force vector, i.e., with surface normal vector perpendicular to the force.
