  2. Velocity stack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_stack

    Short velocity stacks on a 302 cu.in. Ford FE engine in the tight confines of a Ford GT-40. A velocity stack, trumpet, or air horn [1] is a typically flared, parallel-sided tubular device fitted individually or in groupings to the entry of an engine's air intake system to smooth high speed airflow, and allow engine intake track tuning to incorporate pressure pulses created by its internal ...

  3. Kolmogorov microscales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_microscales

    where ε is the average rate of dissipation of turbulence kinetic energy per unit mass, and; ν is the kinematic viscosity of the fluid.; Typical values of the Kolmogorov length scale, for atmospheric motion in which the large eddies have length scales on the order of kilometers, range from 0.1 to 10 millimeters; for smaller flows such as in laboratory systems, η may be much smaller.

  4. Law of the wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_wall

    law of the wall, horizontal velocity near the wall with mixing length model. In fluid dynamics, the law of the wall (also known as the logarithmic law of the wall) states that the average velocity of a turbulent flow at a certain point is proportional to the logarithm of the distance from that point to the "wall", or the boundary of the fluid region.

  5. Darcy–Weisbach equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy–Weisbach_equation

    The key quantities are then the pressure drop along the pipe per unit length, ⁠ Δp / L ⁠, and the volumetric flow rate. The flow rate can be converted to a mean flow velocity V by dividing by the wetted area of the flow (which equals the cross-sectional area of the pipe if the pipe is full of fluid).

  6. Hydraulic diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_diameter

    Using this term, one can calculate many things in the same way as for a round tube. When the cross-section is uniform along the tube or channel length, it is defined as [1] [2] =, where A is the cross-sectional area of the flow, P is the wetted perimeter of the cross-section.

  7. Stacking velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking_velocity

    In reflection seismology, stacking velocity, or Normal Moveout (NMO) velocity, is the value of the seismic velocity obtained from the best fit of the traveltime curve by a hyperbola. [1] [failed verification]. The hyperbolic approximation to the traveltime curve (two-way travel time versus offset) is known as Normal moveout (NMO).

  8. Displacement (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(geometry)

    In geometry and mechanics, a displacement is a vector whose length is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of a point P undergoing motion. [1] It quantifies both the distance and direction of the net or total motion along a straight line from the initial position to the final position of the point trajectory.

  9. Entrance length (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrance_length_(fluid...

    In fluid dynamics, the entrance length is the distance a flow travels after entering a pipe before the flow becomes fully developed. [1] Entrance length refers to the length of the entry region, the area following the pipe entrance where effects originating from the interior wall of the pipe propagate into the flow as an expanding boundary layer.
