  2. Jet (fluid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_(fluid)

    A relativistic jet emitted from galaxy M87, as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope. A jet is a stream of fluid that is projected into a surrounding medium, usually from some kind of a nozzle, aperture or orifice. [1] Jets can travel long distances [quantify] without dissipating. Jet fluid has higher speed compared to the surrounding fluid medium.

  3. Coandă effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coandă_effect

    The forces that cause these changes in the direction of flow of the jet cause an equal and opposite force on the surface along which the jet flows. [8] These Coandă effect induced forces can be harnessed to cause lift and other forms of motion, depending on the orientation of the jet and the surface to which the jet adheres. [7]

    Also in 2016, Quizlet launched "Quizlet Live", a real-time online matching game where teams compete to answer all 12 questions correctly without an incorrect answer along the way. [15] In 2017, Quizlet created a premium offering called "Quizlet Go" (later renamed "Quizlet Plus"), with additional features available for paid subscribers.

  5. Plume (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plume_(fluid_dynamics)

    Plume shapes can be influenced by flow in the ambient fluid (for example, if local wind blowing in the same direction as the plume results in a co-flowing jet). This usually causes a plume which has initially been 'buoyancy-dominated' to become 'momentum-dominated' (this transition is usually predicted by a dimensionless number called the ...

  6. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    If the fluid flow is irrotational, the total pressure is uniform and Bernoulli's principle can be summarized as "total pressure is constant everywhere in the fluid flow". [1]: Equation 3.12 It is reasonable to assume that irrotational flow exists in any situation where a large body of fluid is flowing past a solid body. Examples are aircraft in ...

  7. Synthetic jet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_Jet

    In fluid dynamics, a synthetic jet flow—is a type of jet flow, which is made up of the surrounding fluid. [1] Synthetic jets are produced by periodic ejection and suction of fluid from an opening. This oscillatory motion may be driven by a piston or diaphragm inside a cavity among other ways.

  8. Entrainment (hydrodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrainment_(hydrodynamics)

    In power generation, this phenomenon is used in steam jet air ejectors to maintain condenser vacuum by removing non-condensible gases from the condenser. In theorical aerodynamics applications the entrainment velocity , which expresses the rate of change of the entrainment, is often used to solve the von Kármán integral for turbulent boundary ...

  9. Bipolar outflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_outflow

    The presence of a magnetic field causes the eventual ejection and collimation of the matter, forming a bipolar outflow or jet. In both cases, bipolar outflows consist largely of molecular gas. They can travel at tens or possibly even hundreds of kilometers per second, and in the case of young stars extend over a parsec in length.
