  2. Displacement (fluid) - Wikipedia

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

    In fluid mechanics, displacement occurs when an object is largely immersed in a fluid, pushing it out of the way and taking its place. The volume of the fluid displaced can then be measured, and from this, the volume of the immersed object can be deduced: the volume of the immersed object will be exactly equal to the volume of the displaced fluid.

  3. Buckley–Leverett equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckley–Leverett_equation

    In fluid dynamics, the Buckley–Leverett equation is a conservation equation used to model two-phase flow in porous media. [1] The Buckley–Leverett equation or the Buckley–Leverett displacement describes an immiscible displacement process, such as the displacement of oil by water, in a one-dimensional or quasi-one-dimensional reservoir.

    Flux F through a surface, dS is the differential vector area element, n is the unit normal to the surface. Left: No flux passes in the surface, the maximum amount flows normal to the surface.

  5. Boundary layer thickness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_layer_thickness

    The boundary layer thickness, , is the distance normal to the wall to a point where the flow velocity has essentially reached the 'asymptotic' velocity, .Prior to the development of the Moment Method, the lack of an obvious method of defining the boundary layer thickness led much of the flow community in the later half of the 1900s to adopt the location , denoted as and given by

  6. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    The equation to calculate the pressure inside a fluid in equilibrium is: + = where f is the force density exerted by some outer field on the fluid, and σ is the Cauchy stress tensor. In this case the stress tensor is proportional to the identity tensor:

  7. Thermal boundary layer thickness and shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_boundary_layer...

    It is a direct analog to the velocity displacement thickness which is often described in terms of an equivalent shift of a hypothetical inviscid fluid (see Schlichting [6] for velocity displacement thickness). The definition of the thermal displacement thickness for incompressible flow is based on the integral of the reduced temperature:

  8. Added mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Added_mass

    The dimensionless added mass coefficient is the added mass divided by the displaced fluid mass – i.e. divided by the fluid density times the volume of the body. In general, the added mass is a second-order tensor, relating the fluid acceleration vector to the resulting force vector on the body. [1]

  9. Shallow water equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shallow_water_equations

    Once a solution (i.e. the horizontal velocities and free surface displacement) has been found, the vertical velocity can be recovered via the continuity equation. Situations in fluid dynamics where the horizontal length scale is much greater than the vertical length scale are common, so the shallow-water equations are widely applicable.
