Some systems in fluid dynamics involve a fluid being subject to conservative body forces. Since a conservative body force is the gradient of some potential function, it has the same effect as a gradient in fluid pressure. [1] It is often convenient to define a modified pressure equal to the true fluid pressure plus the potential.
Since then it has been extensively used by many researchers to solve different kinds of fluid flow and heat transfer problems. [1] Many popular books on computational fluid dynamics discuss the SIMPLE algorithm in detail. [2] [3] A modified variant is the SIMPLER algorithm (SIMPLE Revised), that was introduced by Patankar in 1979. [4]
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.
In classical mechanics, a reactive centrifugal force forms part of an action–reaction pair with a centripetal force.. In accordance with Newton's first law of motion, an object moves in a straight line in the absence of a net force acting on the object.

Wage growth, an important measure for gauging inflation pressures, rose 0.4% in November, in line with October's increase and higher than the 0.3% rise economists had expected.
A prolific author of texts in his field, his two-volume treatise, The Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Compressible Fluid Flow, published in 1953 and 1954, is considered a classic. [3] His 1961 book Shape and Flow: The Fluid Dynamics of Drag explained boundary layer phenomena and drag in simple, non-mathematical terms. [4]
