  2. 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 ...

  3. 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 ...

    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 ...

    Thus the flow occurs along the lines of constant ψ and at right angles to the lines of constant φ. [11] Δψ = 0 is also satisfied, this relation being equivalent to ∇ × v = 0. So the flow is irrotational. The automatic condition ⁠ ∂ 2 Ψ / ∂x ∂y ⁠ = ⁠ ∂ 2 Ψ / ∂y ∂x ⁠ then gives the incompressibility constraint ∇ ...

  6. Helmholtz's theorems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz's_theorems

    A fluid element that is initially irrotational remains irrotational. Helmholtz's theorems apply to inviscid flows. In observations of vortices in real fluids the strength of the vortices always decays gradually due to the dissipative effect of viscous forces. Alternative expressions of the three theorems are as follows:

  7. Navier–Stokes equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navier–Stokes_equations

    The Navier–Stokes equations, in their full and simplified forms, help with the design of aircraft and cars, the study of blood flow, the design of power stations, the analysis of pollution, and many other problems. Coupled with Maxwell's equations, they can be used to model and study magnetohydrodynamics.

    For this reason, the blood flow velocity is the fastest in the middle of the vessel and slowest at the vessel wall. In most cases, the mean velocity is used. [18] There are many ways to measure blood flow velocity, like videocapillary microscoping with frame-to-frame analysis, or laser Doppler anemometry. [19]

  9. Entrance length (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

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

    The irrotational (core) flow region: The region in which viscous effects and velocity changes are negligible, also known as the inviscid core. [ 2 ] When the fluid just enters the pipe, the thickness of the boundary layer gradually increases from zero moving in the direction of fluid flow and eventually reaches the pipe center and fills the ...
