  2. Inviscid flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inviscid_flow

    In fluid dynamics, inviscid flow is the flow of an inviscid fluid which is a fluid with zero viscosity. [1] The Reynolds number of inviscid flow approaches infinity as the viscosity approaches zero. When viscous forces are neglected, such as the case of inviscid flow, the Navier–Stokes equation can be simplified to a form known as the Euler ...

  3. Euler equations (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

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

    Thus for an incompressible inviscid fluid the specific internal energy is constant along the flow lines, also in a time-dependent flow. The pressure in an incompressible flow acts like a Lagrange multiplier, being the multiplier of the incompressible constraint in the energy equation, and consequently in incompressible flows it has no ...

  4. Potential flow around a circular cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_flow_around_a...

    In mathematics, potential flow around a circular cylinder is a classical solution for the flow of an inviscid, incompressible fluid around a cylinder that is transverse to the flow. Far from the cylinder, the flow is unidirectional and uniform. The flow has no vorticity and thus the velocity field is irrotational and can be modeled as a ...

  5. Fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_dynamics

    In high Reynolds number flows, the flow is often modeled as an inviscid flow, an approximation in which viscosity is completely neglected. Eliminating viscosity allows the Navier–Stokes equations to be simplified into the Euler equations. The integration of the Euler equations along a streamline in an inviscid flow yields Bernoulli's equation.

  6. Incompressible flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incompressible_flow

    In fluid dynamics, a flow is considered incompressible if the divergence of the flow velocity is zero. However, related formulations can sometimes be used, depending on the flow system being modelled. Some versions are described below: Incompressible flow: =. This can assume either constant density (strict incompressible) or varying density flow.

  7. D'Alembert's paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D'Alembert's_paradox

    D'Alembert proved that – for incompressible and inviscid potential flow – the drag force is zero on a body moving with constant velocity relative to the fluid. [2] Zero drag is in direct contradiction to the observation of substantial drag on bodies moving relative to fluids, such as air and water; especially at high velocities ...

  8. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    So, for constant internal energy the equation reduces to the incompressible-flow form. The constant on the right-hand side is often called the Bernoulli constant and denoted b. For steady inviscid adiabatic flow with no additional sources or sinks of energy, b is constant along any given

  9. Vorticity equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorticity_equation

    The vorticity equation of fluid dynamics describes the evolution of the vorticity ω of a particle of a fluid as it moves with its flow; that is, the local rotation of the fluid (in terms of vector calculus this is the curl of the flow velocity). The governing equation is:
