  2. Streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streamlines,_streaklines...

    Streamlines are frame-dependent. That is, the streamlines observed in one inertial reference frame are different from those observed in another inertial reference frame. For instance, the streamlines in the air around an aircraft wing are defined differently for the passengers in the aircraft than for an observer on the ground. In the aircraft ...

  3. Lagrangian and Eulerian specification of the flow field

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_and_Eulerian...

    File:Lagrangian vs Eulerian [further explanation needed] Eulerian perspective of fluid velocity versus Lagrangian depiction of strain.. In classical field theories, the Lagrangian specification of the flow field is a way of looking at fluid motion where the observer follows an individual fluid parcel as it moves through space and time.

  4. Process flow diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_flow_diagram

    A process flow diagram (PFD) is a diagram commonly used in chemical and process engineering to indicate the general flow of plant processes and equipment. The PFD displays the relationship between major equipment of a plant facility and does not show minor details such as piping details and designations.

  5. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    Example 3.5 and p.116 Bernoulli's principle can also be derived directly from Isaac Newton's second Law of Motion. When fluid is flowing horizontally from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure, there is more pressure behind than in front. This gives a net force on the volume, accelerating it along the streamline. [a] [b] [c]

  6. Streamsurface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streamsurface

    It is the union of all streamlines seeded densely on a curve. Like a streamline, a stream surface is used to visualize flows – three-dimensional flows in this case. Specifically, it is "the locus of an infinite set of such curves [streamlines], rooted at every point along a continuous originating line segment." [1]

  7. Aerial stem modification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_stem_modification

    Some weak-stemmed plants produce wiry, coiled, sensitive, and delicate organs for climbing. They are called tendrils. [8] These may develop from either the axillary bud or the terminal bud of the stem. In Passiflora, the tendrils develop from the axillary bud. In Cissus quadrangularis and in Vitis vinifera, the terminal bud develops into tendrils.

  8. List of nitrogen-fixing-clade families - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nitrogen-fixing...

    annual: a plant species that completes its life cycle within a single year or growing season; basal: attached close to the base (of a plant or an evolutionary tree diagram) climber: a vine that leans on, twines around or clings to other plants for vertical support; deciduous: falling seasonally, as with bark, leaves or petals

  9. Heliophyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliophyte

    Heliophytes or sunstroke plants are adapted to a habitat with a very intensive insolation by their structure and metabolism. Examples are mullein, ling, thyme and soft velcro, white clover, and most roses. They are common in open terrain, rocks, meadows, as well as at the mountain pastures and grasslands and other long sunny exposures. [1] [2]
