2. Flow control structure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_structure

   A flow control structure is a device that alters the flow of water in a stream, drainage channel or pipe. As a group these are passive structures since they operate without intervention under different amounts of water flow and their impact changes based on the quantity of water available.

3. Flow splitter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_splitter

   Flow splitters are used to reduce the likelihood of nappe vibration that might cause the failure of a dam wall by aerating the water flow. They are also used to restrict large flows of stormwater , in situations where a stormwater management device is designed only to treat small storms.

6. Separator (oil production) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separator_(oil_production)

   A spreader plate that disperses the oil into small streams or rivulets increases the effectiveness of the heated-water bath. Upward flow of the oil through the water bath affords slight agitation, which is helpful in coalescing and separating entrained gas from the oil. A heated-water bath is probably the most effective method of removing foam ...

7. Fiber-optic splitter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_splitter

   The PLC splitter is a micro-optical element using photolithographic techniques to form optical waveguide at medium or semiconductor substrate for realizing branch distribution function. For example, graded-index silica-glass waveguides could be used to fabricate PLC optical splitters, and the splitting ratio can be simply adjusted during the ...
