  2. Projection method (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection_method_(fluid...

    This is a Poisson equation for the scalar function . If the vector field u {\displaystyle \mathbf {u} } is known, the above equation can be solved for the scalar function ϕ {\displaystyle \,\phi } and the divergence-free part of u {\displaystyle \mathbf {u} } can be extracted using the relation

  3. Flow coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_coefficient

    The use of the flow coefficient offers a standard method of comparing valve capacities and sizing valves for specific applications that is widely accepted by industry. The general definition of the flow coefficient can be expanded into equations modeling the flow of liquids, gases and steam using the discharge coefficient.

  4. Predictor–corrector method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictor–corrector_method

    The initial, "prediction" step, starts from a function fitted to the function-values and derivative-values at a preceding set of points to extrapolate ("anticipate") this function's value at a subsequent, new point.

  5. Free-energy perturbation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-energy_perturbation

    This free-energy map is also known as a potential of mean force (PMF). Free-energy perturbation calculations only converge properly when the difference between the two states is small enough; therefore it is usually necessary to divide a perturbation into a series of smaller "windows", which are computed independently.

  6. Plug flow reactor model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug_flow_reactor_model

    The residence time distribution function is therefore a Dirac delta function at . A real plug flow reactor has a residence time distribution that is a narrow pulse around the mean residence time distribution. A typical plug flow reactor could be a tube packed with some solid material (frequently a catalyst). Typically these types of reactors ...

  7. Trochoidal wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trochoidal_wave

    For the classical Gerstner wave the fluid motion exactly satisfies the nonlinear, incompressible and inviscid flow equations below the free surface. However, the extended Gerstner waves do in general not satisfy these flow equations exactly (although they satisfy them approximately, i.e. for the linearised Lagrangian description by potential flow).

  8. Linear predictor function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_predictor_function

    The basic form of a linear predictor function () for data point i (consisting of p explanatory variables), for i = 1, ..., n, is = + + +,where , for k = 1, ..., p, is the value of the k-th explanatory variable for data point i, and , …, are the coefficients (regression coefficients, weights, etc.) indicating the relative effect of a particular explanatory variable on the outcome.

  9. Derivation of the Navier–Stokes equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivation_of_the_Navier...

    The assumptions for the stream function equation are: The flow is incompressible and Newtonian. Coordinates are orthogonal. Flow is 2D: u 3 = ⁠ ∂u 1 / ∂x 3 ⁠ = ⁠ ∂u 2 / ∂x 3 ⁠ = 0; The first two scale factors of the coordinate system are independent of the last coordinate: ⁠ ∂h 1 / ∂x 3 ⁠ = ⁠ ∂h 2 / ∂x 3 ⁠ = 0 ...
