  2. Two-dimensional flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-dimensional_flow

    In fluid mechanics, a two-dimensional flow is a form of fluid flow where the flow velocity at every point is parallel to a fixed plane. The velocity at any point on a ...

  3. Stream function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_function

    The two-dimensional (or Lagrange) stream function, introduced by Joseph Louis Lagrange in 1781, [1] is defined for incompressible (divergence-free), two-dimensional flows. The Stokes stream function , named after George Gabriel Stokes , [ 2 ] is defined for incompressible, three-dimensional flows with axisymmetry .

  4. Lift coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_coefficient

    The section lift coefficient is based on two-dimensional flow over a wing of infinite span and non-varying cross-section so the lift is independent of spanwise effects and is defined in terms of ′, the lift force per unit span of the wing. The definition becomes

  5. Computational fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_fluid_dynamics

    Two-dimensional (2D) methods, using conformal transformations of the flow about a cylinder to the flow about an airfoil were developed in the 1930s. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] One of the earliest type of calculations resembling modern CFD are those by Lewis Fry Richardson , in the sense that these calculations used finite differences and divided the physical ...

  6. Strain-rate tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain-rate_tensor

    A two-dimensional flow that, at the highlighted point, has only a strain rate component, with no mean velocity or rotational component. In continuum mechanics, the strain-rate tensor or rate-of-strain tensor is a physical quantity that describes the rate of change of the strain (i.e., the relative deformation) of a material in the neighborhood of a certain point, at a certain moment of time.

  7. Fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_dynamics

    In physics, physical chemistry and engineering, fluid dynamics is a subdiscipline of fluid mechanics that describes the flow of fluids – liquids and gases.It has several subdisciplines, including aerodynamics (the study of air and other gases in motion) and hydrodynamics (the study of water and other liquids in motion).

  9. Circulation (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulation_(physics)

    In fluid dynamics, the lift per unit span (L') acting on a body in a two-dimensional flow field is directly proportional to the circulation, i.e. it can be expressed as the product of the circulation Γ about the body, the fluid density , and the speed of the body relative to the free-stream : ′ =
