  2. Incompressible flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incompressible_flow

    In fluid dynamics, a flow is considered incompressible if the divergence of the flow velocity is zero. However, related formulations can sometimes be used, depending on the flow system being modelled. Some versions are described below: Incompressible flow: =. This can assume either constant density (strict incompressible) or varying density flow.

  3. Stagnation temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagnation_temperature

    q = Heat per unit mass added into the system. Strictly speaking, enthalpy is a function of both temperature and density. However, invoking the common assumption of a calorically perfect gas, enthalpy can be converted directly into temperature as given above, which enables one to define a stagnation temperature in terms of the more fundamental property, stagnation enthalpy.

  4. Navier–Stokes equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navier–Stokes_equations

    The incompressible flow assumption typically holds well with all fluids at low Mach numbers (say up to about Mach 0.3), such as for modelling air winds at normal temperatures. [16] the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations are best visualized by dividing for the density: [17]

    The flow is incompressible and Newtonian. Coordinates are orthogonal. Flow is 2D: u 3 = ⁠ ∂u 1 / ∂x 3 ⁠ = ⁠ ∂u 2 / ∂x 3 ⁠ = 0; The first two scale factors of the coordinate system are independent of the last coordinate: ⁠ ∂h 1 / ∂x 3 ⁠ = ⁠ ∂h 2 / ∂x 3 ⁠ = 0, otherwise extra terms appear. The stream function has ...

    Thus for an incompressible inviscid fluid the specific internal energy is constant along the flow lines, also in a time-dependent flow. The pressure in an incompressible flow acts like a Lagrange multiplier, being the multiplier of the incompressible constraint in the energy equation, and consequently in incompressible flows it has no ...

  7. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    If the fluid flow is brought to rest at some point, this point is called a stagnation point, and at this point the static pressure is equal to the stagnation pressure. If the fluid flow is irrotational, the total pressure is uniform and Bernoulli's principle can be summarized as "total pressure is constant everywhere in the fluid flow". [1]:

    Density variation due to both concentration and temperature is an important field of study in double diffusive convection. If density changes due to both temperature and salinity are taken into account, then some more terms add to the Z-Component of momentum as follows: [ 7 ] [ 8 ]

  9. Prandtl condition - Wikipedia

    It is further assumed that there is no friction or heat loss at the shock (because heat transfer is negligible because it occurs on a relatively small surface). It is customary in this field to denote x as the upstream and y as the downstream condition. Since the mass flow rate from the two sides of the shock are constant, the mass balance becomes,
