  2. Kolmogorov microscales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_microscales

    where ε is the average rate of dissipation of turbulence kinetic energy per unit mass, and; ν is the kinematic viscosity of the fluid.; Typical values of the Kolmogorov length scale, for atmospheric motion in which the large eddies have length scales on the order of kilometers, range from 0.1 to 10 millimeters; for smaller flows such as in laboratory systems, η may be much smaller.

  3. Power-law fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-law_fluid

    A Newtonian fluid is a power-law fluid with a behaviour index of 1, where the shear stress is directly proportional to the shear rate: = These fluids have a constant viscosity, μ, across all shear rates and include many of the most common fluids, such as water, most aqueous solutions, oils, corn syrup, glycerine, air and other gases.

  4. Electric-field screening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric-field_screening

    The chemical potential μ is, by definition, the energy of adding an extra electron to the fluid. This energy may be decomposed into a kinetic energy T part and the potential energy − eφ part. Since the chemical potential is kept constant, Δ μ = Δ T − e Δ ϕ = 0. {\displaystyle \Delta \mu =\Delta T-e\Delta \phi =0.}

  5. Power law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_law

    The distributions of a wide variety of physical, biological, and human-made phenomena approximately follow a power law over a wide range of magnitudes: these include the sizes of craters on the moon and of solar flares, [2] cloud sizes, [3] the foraging pattern of various species, [4] the sizes of activity patterns of neuronal populations, [5] the frequencies of words in most languages ...

  6. Newtonian fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtonian_fluid

    While no real fluid fits the definition perfectly, many common liquids and gases, such as water and air, can be assumed to be Newtonian for practical calculations under ordinary conditions. However, non-Newtonian fluids are relatively common and include oobleck (which becomes stiffer when vigorously sheared) and non-drip paint (which becomes ...

  7. Carreau fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carreau_fluid

    Where: , , and are material coefficients: is the viscosity at zero shear rate (Pa.s), is the viscosity at infinite shear rate (Pa.s), is the characteristic time (s) and power index. The dynamics of fluid motions is an important area of physics, with many important and commercially significant applications.

  8. Herschel–Bulkley fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herschel–Bulkley_fluid

    The Herschel–Bulkley fluid is a generalized model of a non-Newtonian fluid, in which the strain experienced by the fluid is related to the stress in a complicated, non-linear way. Three parameters characterize this relationship: the consistency k , the flow index n , and the yield shear stress τ 0 {\\displaystyle \\tau _{0}} .

  9. Viscosity models for mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_models_for_mixtures

    The simplest model of the dense fluid viscosity is a (truncated) power series of reduced mole density or pressure. Jossi et al. (1962) [ 14 ] presented such a model based on reduced mole density, but its most widespread form is the version proposed by Lohrenz et al. (1964) [ 15 ] which is displayed below.
