  2. Hydraulic head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_head

    Hydraulic head or piezometric head is a specific measurement of liquid pressure above a vertical datum. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is usually measured as a liquid surface elevation, expressed in units of length, at the entrance (or bottom) of a piezometer .

  3. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    h = z + ⁠ p / ρg ⁠ is the piezometric head or hydraulic head (the sum of the elevation z and the pressure head) [11] [12] and; p 0 = p + q is the stagnation pressure (the sum of the static pressure p and dynamic pressure q). [13] The constant in the Bernoulli equation can be normalized.

  4. Pressure head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_head

    Pressure head is a component of hydraulic head, in which it is combined with elevation head. When considering dynamic (flowing) systems, there is a third term needed: velocity head. Thus, the three terms of velocity head, elevation head, and pressure head appear in the head equation derived from the Bernoulli equation for incompressible fluids:

  5. Pore water pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pore_water_pressure

    The standard method for measuring pore water pressure below the water table employs a piezometer, which measures the height to which a column of the liquid rises against gravity; i.e., the static pressure (or piezometric head) of groundwater at a specific depth. [6] Piezometers often employ electronic pressure transducers to provide data.

  6. List of unsolved problems in biology - Wikipedia

    RNA folding problem: Is it possible to accurately predict the secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure of a polyribonucleic acid sequence based on its sequence and environment? Protein design : Is it possible to design highly active enzymes de novo for any desired reaction?

  7. Borda–Carnot equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borda–Carnot_equation

    The minus signs, in front of the right-hand sides, mean that the pressure (and hydraulic head) are larger after the pipe expansion. That this change in the pressures (and hydraulic heads), just before and after the pipe expansion, corresponds with an energy loss becomes clear when comparing with the results of Bernoulli's principle. According ...

  8. Fault zone hydrogeology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_zone_hydrogeology

    This can slower and concentrate the fluid migration. The fault zone facilitates vertical downwards movement of CO 2 due to its buoyancy and piezometric head differences, i.e. pressure/ hydraulic head is greater at a higher elevation, which helps store CO 2 at depth. [6] Gif 4. This gif shows how fluid (CO 2) is facilitated by a fault zone.

  9. Hydraulic (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_(disambiguation)

    Hydraulic fluid, the medium by which power is transferred in hydraulic machinery; Hydraulic head, or piezometric head is a specific measurement of liquid pressure above a geodetic datum; Hydraulic lift, a type of hydraulic machinery or a form of hydraulic redistribution, a plant root phenomenon
