31Offshore oil spill prevention and response — Inspector on offshore oil drilling rig Offshore oil spill prevention and response is the study and practice of reducing the number of offshore incidents that release oil or hazardous substances into the environment and limiting the amount… …
32Sediment transport — is the movement of solid particles ( sediment ) due to the movement of the fluid in which they are immersed. This is typically studied in natural systems, where the particles are clastic rocks (sand, gravel, boulders, etc.) or clay, and the fluid …
33Solid solution strengthening — is a type of alloying that can be used to improve the strength of a pure metal. The technique works by adding atoms of one element (the alloying element) to the crystalline lattice another element (the base metal). The alloying element diffuses… …
34Herschel-Bulkley fluid — The Herschel Bulkley fluid is a generalized model of a Non Newtonian fluid, in which the stress experienced by the fluid is related to the strain in a complicated, non linear way. Three parameters characterize this relationship: the consistency k …
35List of materials properties — A material s property is an intensive, often quantitative property of a material, usually with a unit that may be used as a metric of value to compare the benefits of one material versus another to aid in materials selection. A material property… …
36Orr–Sommerfeld equation — The Orr–Sommerfeld equation, in fluid dynamics, is an eigenvalue equation describing the linear two dimensional modes of disturbance to a viscous parallel flow. The solution to the Navier–Stokes equations for a parallel, laminar flow can become… …
37Moment distribution method — The moment distribution method (not to be confused with moment redistribution) is a structural analysis method for statically indeterminate beams and frames developed by Hardy Cross. It was published in 1930 in an ASCE journal.[1] The method only …
38Shell Balance — In fluid mechanics, it may be necessary to determine how a fluid velocity changes across the flow. This can be done with a shell balance.A shell is a differential element of the flow. By looking at the momentum and forces on one small portion, it …
39hydrologic sciences — Introduction the fields of study concerned with the waters of the Earth. Included are the sciences of hydrology, oceanography, limnology, and glaciology. In its widest sense hydrology encompasses the study of the occurrence, the… …
40building construction — Techniques and industry involved in the assembly and erection of structures. Early humans built primarily for shelter, using simple methods. Building materials came from the land, and fabrication was dictated by the limits of the materials and… …
