  2. Stemflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stemflow

    Stem flow measurement on a silver birch. There are a variety of ways stemflow volume is measured in the field. The most common direct measurement currently used is the bonding of bisected PVC or other plastic tubing around the circumference of the tree trunk, connected and funneled into a graduated cylinder for manual or a tipping bucket rain gauge for automatic collection.

  3. Mach reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_reflection

    The only type of Mach reflection possible in steady flow is direct-Mach reflection, in which the Mach stem is convex away from the oncoming flow, and the slip plane slopes towards the reflecting surface. By new results [3] [4] [5] there is a new configuration of shock waves - configuration with a negative angle of reflection in steady flow ...

It was made an independent agency within the Treasury Department in 1927, was transferred to the Justice Department in 1930, and became, briefly, a ...

  5. Stream function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_function

    A shift in the position of the reference point effectively adds a constant (for steady flow) or a function solely of time (for nonsteady flow) to the stream function at every point . The shift in the stream function, Δ ψ {\displaystyle \Delta \psi } , is equal to the total volumetric flux, per unit thickness, through the continuous surface ...

  7. Tributary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tributary

    Tributaries, and the main stem river into which they flow, drain the surrounding drainage basin of its surface water and groundwater, leading the water out into an ocean. The Irtysh is a chief tributary of the Ob river and is also the longest tributary river in the world with a length of 4,248 km (2,640 mi).

    AP World History: Modern was designed to help students develop a greater understanding of the evolution of global processes and contacts as well as interactions between different human societies. The course advances understanding through a combination of selective factual knowledge and appropriate analytical skills.

  9. Main stem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_stem

    In hydrology, a main stem or mainstem (also known as a trunk) is "the primary downstream segment of a river, as contrasted to its tributaries". [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The mainstem extends all the way from one specific headwater to the outlet of the river, although there are multiple ways to determine which headwater (or first-order tributary) is the ...
