1Darcy friction factor formulae — In fluid dynamics, the Darcy friction factor formulae are equations based on experimental data and theory for the Darcy friction factor. The Darcy friction factor is a dimensionless quantity used in the Darcy–Weisbach equation, for the… …
2Erosion — is the carrying away or displacement of solids (sediment, soil, rock and other particles) usually by the agents of currents such as, wind, water, or ice by downward or down slope movement in response to gravity or by living organisms (in the case …
3river — river1 riverless, adj. riverlike, adj. /riv euhr/, n. 1. a natural stream of water of fairly large size flowing in a definite course or channel or series of diverging and converging channels. 2. a similar stream of something other than water: a… …
4Darcy–Weisbach equation — In fluid dynamics, the Darcy–Weisbach equation is a phenomenological equation, which relates the head loss or pressure loss due to friction along a given length of pipe to the average velocity of the fluid flow. The equation is named after Henry… …
5Darcy-Weisbach equation — The Darcy Weisbach equation is an important and widely used phenomenological equation in hydraulics. It relates the head loss or pressure loss due to friction along a given length of pipe to the average velocity of the fluid flow. Head loss form… …
6Pipe Networks — generally refers to a common problem in Hydraulic Design. In order to direct water to many individuals in a municipal water supply, many times the water is routed through a Water supply network. A major part of this network may consist of… …
7Manning formula — The Manning formula, known also as the Gauckler–Manning formula, or Gauckler–Manning–Strickler formula in Europe, is an empirical formula for open channel flow, or free surface flow driven by gravity. It was first presented by the French engineer …
8Disc brake — Close up of a disc brake on a car On automobiles, disc brakes are often located with …
9continental landform — ▪ geology Introduction any conspicuous topographic feature on the largest land areas of the Earth. Familiar examples are mountains (including volcanic (volcanism) cones), plateaus, and valleys. (The term landform also can be applied to… …
10Hazen-Williams equation — The Hazen Williams formula can be used to calculate the pressure loss per one foot of pipe of a known diameter due to friction dependent on the flow. This equation is commonly used for pressure drop calculations in fire sprinkler systems, water… …
