  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. 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 ...

  5. Luke's variational principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luke's_variational_principle

    Luke's Lagrangian formulation is for non-linear surface gravity waves on an—incompressible, irrotational and inviscid—potential flow. The relevant ingredients, needed in order to describe this flow, are: Φ(x,z,t) is the velocity potential, ρ is the fluid density, g is the acceleration by the Earth's gravity,

  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. 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.

  8. Outline of fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_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. 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 ...
