  2. Inviscid flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inviscid_flow

    In fluid dynamics, inviscid flow is the flow of an inviscid fluid which is a fluid with zero viscosity. [1] The Reynolds number of inviscid flow approaches infinity as the viscosity approaches zero. When viscous forces are neglected, such as the case of inviscid flow, the Navier–Stokes equation can be simplified to a form known as the Euler ...

  3. Potential flow around a circular cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_flow_around_a...

    Potential flow with zero circulation. In mathematics, potential flow around a circular cylinder is a classical solution for the flow of an inviscid, incompressible fluid around a cylinder that is transverse to the flow. Far from the cylinder, the flow is unidirectional and uniform.

  4. Mass injection flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_Injection_Flow

    Mass injection flow (a.k.a. Limbach Flow) refers to inviscid, adiabatic flow through a constant area duct where the effect of mass addition is considered. For this model, the duct area remains constant, the flow is assumed to be steady and one-dimensional, and mass is added within the duct.

  5. Hydrodynamic stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrodynamic_stability

    When studying flow stability it is useful to understand more simplistic systems, e.g. incompressible and inviscid fluids which can then be developed further onto more complex flows. [1] Since the 1980s, more computational methods are being used to model and analyse the more complex flows.

  6. Rayleigh's equation (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh's_equation_(fluid...

    Example of a parallel shear flow. In fluid dynamics, Rayleigh's equation or Rayleigh stability equation is a linear ordinary differential equation to study the hydrodynamic stability of a parallel, incompressible and inviscid shear flow. The equation is: [1] (″) ″ =,

  7. Stagnation point flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagnation_point_flow

    In fluid dynamics, a stagnation point flow refers to a fluid flow in the neighbourhood of a stagnation point (in two-dimensional flows) or a stagnation line (in three-dimensional flows) with which the stagnation point/line refers to a point/line where the velocity is zero in the inviscid approximation. The flow specifically considers a class of ...

  8. Euler equations (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

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

    Flow around a wing. This incompressible flow satisfies the Euler equations. In fluid dynamics, the Euler equations are a set of partial differential equations governing adiabatic and inviscid flow. They are named after Leonhard Euler. In particular, they correspond to the Navier–Stokes equations with zero viscosity and zero thermal ...

  9. Fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_mechanics

    Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics concerned with the mechanics of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them. [1]: 3 It has applications in a wide range of disciplines, including mechanical, aerospace, civil, chemical, and biomedical engineering, as well as geophysics, oceanography, meteorology, astrophysics, and biology.
