  2. Car hydraulics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_hydraulics

    Car hydraulics are equipment installed in an automobile that allows for a dynamic adjustment in height of the vehicle. These suspension modifications are often placed in a lowrider , i.e., a vehicle modified to lower its ground clearance below that of its original design.

  3. Air bubble entrainment (hydraulics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_bubble_entrainment...

    Interfacial aeration is defined as the air entrainment process along an air–water interface, usually parallel to the flow direction. In hydraulic structures, free-surface aeration is commonly observed: i.e., the white waters. The air bubble entrainment may be localised or continuous along an interface (water jets, spillway chutes). Despite ...

  4. Hydraulic jumps in rectangular channels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_Jumps_in...

    Hydraulic jump in a rectangular channel, also known as classical jump, is a natural phenomenon that occurs whenever flow changes from supercritical to subcritical flow. In this transition, the water surface rises abruptly, surface rollers are formed, intense mixing occurs, air is entrained, and often a large amount of energy is dissipated.

  5. Hydraulic structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_structure

    A hydraulic structure is a structure submerged or partially submerged in any body of water, which disrupts the natural flow of water. They can be used to divert, disrupt or completely stop the flow. An example of a hydraulic structure would be a dam, which slows the normal flow rate of the river in order to power turbines. A hydraulic structure ...

  6. Flow net - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_net

    The method consists of filling the flow area with stream and equipotential lines, which are everywhere perpendicular to each other, making a curvilinear grid.Typically there are two surfaces (boundaries) which are at constant values of potential or hydraulic head (upstream and downstream ends), and the other surfaces are no-flow boundaries (i.e., impermeable; for example the bottom of the dam ...

  7. Working fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_fluid

    For fluid power, a working fluid is a gas or liquid that primarily transfers force, motion, or mechanical energy.In hydraulics, water or hydraulic fluid transfers force between hydraulic components such as hydraulic pumps, hydraulic cylinders, and hydraulic motors that are assembled into hydraulic machinery, hydraulic drive systems, etc.

  9. Fluid coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_coupling

    Daimler car fluid flywheel of the 1930s. A fluid coupling or hydraulic coupling is a hydrodynamic or 'hydrokinetic' device used to transmit rotating mechanical power. [1] It has been used in automobile transmissions as an alternative to a mechanical clutch.
