  2. Center of pressure (fluid mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    The total force vector acting at the center of pressure is the surface integral of the pressure vector field across the surface of the body. The resultant force and center of pressure location produce an equivalent force and moment on the body as the original pressure field. Pressure fields occur in both static and dynamic fluid mechanics ...

  3. Pressure prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_prism

    HCOP = ∫px x dx / ∫px dx, where px is the pressure at x distance from the bottom With this formula we see the height of the COP for a plane surface is H/3 from the bottom, as shown in Figure 2 (left). With two fluids of differing density in a volume, the slope of the pressure prism will not be constant over the depth. See Figure 3 (right).

  4. List of centroids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_centroids

    The following is a list of centroids of various two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. The centroid of an object in -dimensional space is the intersection of all hyperplanes that divide into two parts of equal moment about the hyperplane.

  5. Van der Waals equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_equation

    One way to write the van der Waals equation is: [8] [9] [10] = where is pressure, is temperature, and = / is molar volume. In addition is the Avogadro constant, is the volume, and is the number of molecules (the ratio / is a physical quantity with base unit mole (symbol mol) in the SI).

  6. Tait equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tait_equation

    where is the hydrostatic pressure in addition to the atmospheric one, is the volume at atmospheric pressure, is the volume under additional pressure , and , are experimentally determined parameters. A very detailed historical study on the Tait equation with the physical interpretation of the two parameters A {\displaystyle A} and Π ...

  7. Centroid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centroid

    The same formula holds for any three-dimensional objects, except that each should be the volume of , rather than its area. It also holds for any subset of R d , {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{d},} for any dimension d , {\displaystyle d,} with the areas replaced by the d {\displaystyle d} -dimensional measures of the parts.

  8. Force density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_density

    In fluid mechanics, the force density is the negative gradient of pressure. It has the physical dimensions of force per unit volume. Force density is a vector field representing the flux density of the hydrostatic force within the bulk of a fluid. Force density is represented by the symbol f, [1] and given by the following equation, where p is ...

  9. Center of mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_mass

    Solve this equation for the coordinates R to obtain = (), Where M is the total mass in the volume. If a continuous mass distribution has uniform density , which means that ρ is constant, then the center of mass is the same as the centroid of the volume.
