  2. Air pollutant concentrations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_pollutant_concentrations

    = milligrams of pollutant per cubic meter of air at sea level atmospheric pressure and T: ppmv = air pollutant concentration, in parts per million by volume T = ambient temperature in K = 273. + °C 0.082057338 = Universal gas constant in L atm mol −1 K −1: M = molecular mass (or molecular weight) of the air pollutant

  3. Sheet flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_flow

    The concentration of particles usually spreads out in a straight line, and the Rouse distribution works in the water column above the sheet-flow layer where the particles are less concentrated. However, velocity distribution formulas are still being refined to accurately describe particle velocity profiles in steady or oscillatory sheet flows. [2]

  4. Flow coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_coefficient

    For air flow at room temperature, when the outlet pressure is less than 1/2 the absolute inlet pressure, the flow becomes quite simple (although it reaches sonic velocity internally). With C v = 1.0 and 200 psia inlet pressure, the flow is 100 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm).

  5. Boussinesq approximation (water waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boussinesq_approximation...

    The Boussinesq approximation for water waves takes into account the vertical structure of the horizontal and vertical flow velocity. This results in non-linear partial differential equations , called Boussinesq-type equations , which incorporate frequency dispersion (as opposite to the shallow water equations , which are not frequency-dispersive).

  6. Volumetric flow rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_flow_rate

    The area required to calculate the volumetric flow rate is real or imaginary, flat or curved, either as a cross-sectional area or a surface. The vector area is a combination of the magnitude of the area through which the volume passes through, A , and a unit vector normal to the area, n ^ {\displaystyle {\hat {\mathbf {n} }}} .

  7. Roadway air dispersion modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadway_air_dispersion...

    The basic concept of the roadway air dispersion model is to calculate air pollutant levels in the vicinity of a highway or arterial roadway by considering them as line sources. The model takes into account source characteristics such as traffic volume, vehicle speeds, truck mix, and fleet emission controls; in addition, the roadway geometry ...

  8. Stokes drift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_drift

    For a pure wave motion in fluid dynamics, the Stokes drift velocity is the average velocity when following a specific fluid parcel as it travels with the fluid flow. For instance, a particle floating at the free surface of water waves , experiences a net Stokes drift velocity in the direction of wave propagation .

  9. Airy wave theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airy_wave_theory

    Further, the flow is assumed to be incompressible and irrotational – a good approximation of the flow in the fluid interior for waves on a liquid surface – and potential theory can be used to describe the flow. The velocity potential Φ(x, z, t) is related to the flow velocity components u x and u z in the horizontal (x) and vertical (z ...
