  2. Classical central-force problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Classical_central-force_problem

    In classical mechanics, the central-force problem is to determine the motion of a particle in a single central potential field.A central force is a force (possibly negative) that points from the particle directly towards a fixed point in space, the center, and whose magnitude only depends on the distance of the object to the center.

  3. Exact solutions of classical central-force problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_solutions_of...

    In the classical central-force problem of classical mechanics, some potential energy functions () produce motions or orbits that can be expressed in terms of well-known functions, such as the trigonometric functions and elliptic functions. This article describes these functions and the corresponding solutions for the orbits.

  4. Center of pressure (fluid mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    The total force vector acting at the center of pressure is the surface integral of the pressure vector field across the surface of the body. The resultant force and center of pressure location produce an equivalent force and moment on the body as the original pressure field. Pressure fields occur in both static and dynamic fluid mechanics ...

  5. Dynamic similarity (Reynolds and Womersley numbers)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_similarity...

    When the Womersley parameter is low, viscous forces tend to dominate the flow, velocity profiles are parabolic in shape, and the center-line velocity oscillates in phase with the driving pressure gradient. [2] Starting with Navier–Stokes equation for Cartesian flow:

  6. 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).
