  2. Hydrodynamical helicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrodynamical_helicity

    Helicity is a pseudo-scalar quantity: it changes sign under change from a right-handed to a left-handed frame of reference; it can be considered as a measure of the handedness (or chirality) of the flow. Helicity is one of the four known integral invariants of the Euler equations; the other three are energy, momentum and angular momentum.

  3. Liquid water path - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_water_path

    The liquid water path also contributes to important cloud properties. As the value of the liquid water path increases, so does the albedo of the cloud. This increase in albedo is seen most quickly at the lower end of the liquid water path spectrum, that is, the smaller the amount of total water, the quicker the albedo increases.

  4. Slip ratio (gas–liquid flow) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_ratio_(gas–liquid_flow)

    There are a number of correlations for slip ratio. For homogeneous flow, S = 1 (i.e. there is no slip). The Chisholm correlation [2] [3] is: = The Chisholm correlation is based on application of the simple annular flow model and equates the frictional pressure drops in the liquid and the gas phase.

  5. Helicity (particle physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicity_(particle_physics)

    The helicity of a particle is positive (" right-handed") if the direction of its spin is the same as the direction of its motion and negative ("left-handed") if opposite. Helicity is conserved. [1] That is, the helicity commutes with the Hamiltonian, and thus, in the absence of external forces, is time-invariant. It is also rotationally ...

  6. Dynamic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_pressure

    The meter is "read" as a differential pressure head in cm or inches of water and is equivalent to the difference in velocity head. The dynamic pressure, along with the static pressure and the pressure due to elevation, is used in Bernoulli's principle as an energy balance on a closed system .

  7. Volumetric flow rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_flow_rate

    The area required to calculate the volumetric flow rate is real or imaginary, flat or curved, either as a cross-sectional area or a surface. The vector area is a combination of the magnitude of the area through which the volume passes through, A , and a unit vector normal to the area, n ^ {\displaystyle {\hat {\mathbf {n} }}} .

  8. Hydraulic head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_head

    In fluid dynamics, head is a concept that relates the energy in an incompressible fluid to the height of an equivalent static column of that fluid. From Bernoulli's principle, the total energy at a given point in a fluid is the kinetic energy associated with the speed of flow of the fluid, plus energy from static pressure in the fluid, plus energy from the height of the fluid relative to an ...

  9. Relative permeability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_permeability

    The water saturation is the fraction of the pore volume that is filled with water, and similarly for the oil saturation . Thus, saturations are themselves scaled properties or variables. Thus, saturations are themselves scaled properties or variables.
