  2. No-slip condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-slip_condition

    The no-slip condition is an empirical assumption that has been useful in modelling many macroscopic experiments. It was one of three alternatives that were the subject of contention in the 19th century, with the other two being the stagnant-layer (a thin layer of stationary fluid on which the rest of the fluid flows) and the partial slip (a finite relative velocity between solid and fluid ...

  3. Boundary conditions in fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_conditions_in...

    Showing wall boundary condition. The most common boundary that comes upon in confined fluid flow problems is the wall of the conduit. The appropriate requirement is called the no-slip boundary condition, wherein the normal component of velocity is fixed at zero, and the tangential component is set equal to the velocity of the wall. [1]

  4. Von Kármán constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Kármán_constant

    In fluid dynamics, the von Kármán constant (or Kármán's constant), named for Theodore von Kármán, is a dimensionless constant involved in the logarithmic law describing the distribution of the longitudinal velocity in the wall-normal direction of a turbulent fluid flow near a boundary with a no-slip condition.

  5. Boundary layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_layer

    Velocity Boundary Layer (Top, orange) and Temperature Boundary Layer (Bottom, green) share a functional form due to similarity in the Momentum/Energy Balances and boundary conditions. Note that in many cases, the no-slip boundary condition holds that , the fluid velocity at the surface of the plate equals the velocity of the plate at all locations.

  6. Boundary conditions in computational fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_conditions_in...

    Fig 1 Formation of grid in cfd. Almost every computational fluid dynamics problem is defined under the limits of initial and boundary conditions. When constructing a staggered grid, it is common to implement boundary conditions by adding an extra node across the physical boundary.

  7. Diffusiophoresis and diffusioosmosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusiophoresis_and_diff...

    This is called the no-slip condition. To understand these expressions better, we can consider a very simple model, where the surface simply excludes an ideal solute from an interface of width R {\displaystyle R} , this is would be the Asakura–Oosawa model of an ideal polymer against a hard wall. [ 13 ]

  8. Lift (force) - Wikipedia

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

    The result is that when the air is viewed as a continuous material, it is seen to be unable to slide along the surface, and the air's velocity relative to the airfoil decreases to nearly zero at the surface (i.e., the air molecules "stick" to the surface instead of sliding along it), something known as the no-slip condition. [71]

  9. Cunningham correction factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cunningham_correction_factor

    The derivation of Stokes' law, which is used to calculate the drag force on small particles, assumes a no-slip condition which is no longer correct at high Knudsen numbers. The Cunningham slip correction factor allows predicting the drag force on a particle moving a fluid with Knudsen number between the continuum regime and free molecular flow.
