  2. Runoff curve number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runoff_curve_number

    The runoff curve number (also called a curve number or simply CN) is an empirical parameter used in hydrology for predicting direct runoff or infiltration from rainfall excess. [1] The curve number method was developed by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service , which was formerly called the Soil Conservation Service or SCS — the ...

  3. Rankine–Hugoniot conditions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine–Hugoniot_conditions

    The curve represents a plot of equation with p 1, v 1, c 0, and s known. If p 1 = 0, the curve will intersect the specific volume axis at the point v 1. Hugoniot elastic limit in the p-v plane for a shock in an elastic-plastic material. For shocks in solids, a closed form expression such as equation cannot be

  4. Runoff (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runoff_(hydrology)

    The runoff curve number (also called a curve number or simply CN) is an empirical parameter used in hydrology for predicting direct runoff or infiltration from rainfall excess. [13] The curve number method was developed by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service , which was formerly called the Soil Conservation Service or SCS — the ...

  5. Dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_numbers_in...

    Dimensionless numbers (or characteristic numbers) have an important role in analyzing the behavior of fluids and their flow as well as in other transport phenomena. [1] They include the Reynolds and the Mach numbers, which describe as ratios the relative magnitude of fluid and physical system characteristics, such as density, viscosity, speed of sound, and flow speed.

  6. Hydraulic jumps in rectangular channels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_Jumps_in...

    To help visualize the relationship of the upstream Froude number and the flow depth downstream of the hydraulic jump, it is helpful to plot y 2 /y 1 versus the upstream Froude Number, Fr 1. (Figure 8) The value of y 2 /y 1 is a ratio of depths that represent a dimensionless jump height; for example, if y 2 /y 1 = 2, then the jump doubles the ...

  7. Volumetric flow rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_flow_rate

    Volumetric flow rate is defined by the limit [3] = ˙ = =, that is, the flow of volume of fluid V through a surface per unit time t.. Since this is only the time derivative of volume, a scalar quantity, the volumetric flow rate is also a scalar quantity.

  8. Turbulence kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbulence_kinetic_energy

    Accurate prescription of TKE as initial conditions in CFD simulations are important to accurately predict flows, especially in high Reynolds-number simulations. A smooth duct example is given below. k = 3 2 ( U I ) 2 , {\displaystyle k={\frac {3}{2}}(UI)^{2},} where I is the initial turbulence intensity [%] given below, and U is the initial ...

    As the number of discrete events increases, the function begins to resemble a normal distribution. Comparison of probability density functions, p ( k ) {\textstyle p(k)} for the sum of n {\textstyle n} fair 6-sided dice to show their convergence to a normal distribution with increasing n a {\textstyle na} , in accordance to the central limit ...
