  2. Stream function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_function

    so the flow velocity components in relation to the stream function must be =, =. Notice that the stream function is linear in the velocity. Consequently if two incompressible flow fields are superimposed, then the stream function of the resultant flow field is the algebraic sum of the stream functions of the two original fields.

  3. Psi function - Wikipedia

    Psi function can refer, in mathematics, to the ordinal collapsing function the Dedekind psi function the Chebyshev function the ...

  4. Wave function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_function

    The Schrödinger equation determines how wave functions evolve over time, and a wave function behaves qualitatively like other waves, such as water waves or waves on a string, because the Schrödinger equation is mathematically a type of wave equation.

  5. Dynamic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_pressure

    In fluid dynamics, dynamic pressure (denoted by q or Q and sometimes called velocity pressure) is the quantity defined by: [1] = where (in SI units): q is the dynamic pressure in pascals (i.e., N/m 2, ρ (Greek letter rho) is the fluid mass density (e.g. in kg/m 3), and; u is the flow speed in m/s.

    which is a linear wave equation for the velocity potential φ. Again the oscillatory part of the velocity vector v is related to the velocity potential by v = ∇φ, while as before Δ is the Laplace operator, and c is the average speed of sound in the homogeneous medium.

  7. Two-dimensional flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-dimensional_flow

    As the fluid flows outward, the area of flow increases. As a result, to satisfy continuity equation, the velocity decreases and the streamlines spread out. The velocity at all points at a given distance from the source is the same. Fig 2 - Streamlines and potential lines for source flow. The velocity of fluid flow can be given as -

  8. Streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streamlines,_streaklines...

    The dashed lines represent contours of the velocity field (streamlines), showing the motion of the whole field at the same time. (See high resolution version.) Solid blue lines and broken grey lines represent the streamlines. The red arrows show the direction and magnitude of the flow velocity. These arrows are tangential to the streamline.
