boundary layer flow
21Inviscid flow — In fluid dynamics there are problems that are easily solved by using the simplifying assumption of an ideal fluid that has no viscosity. The flow of a fluid that is assumed to have no viscosity is called inviscid flow. [Clancy, L.J., Aerodynamics …
22Matched index of refraction flow facility — Contents 1 Overview History 2 How It Works 3 Current Experiments Involving MIR 4 Planned Upgrades 5 …
23Plug flow — In fluid mechanics, Plug Flow is a simple model of the velocity profile of a fluid flowing in a pipe. In plug flow, the velocity of the fluid is assumed to be constant across any cross section of the pipe perpendicular to the axis of the pipe.… …
24laminar flow — noun nonturbulent streamline flow in parallel layers (laminae) • Hypernyms: ↑streamline flow * * * noun : streamline flow in a viscous fluid near a solid boundary contrasted with turbulent flow * * * Hydraul., Mech. the flow of a viscous fluid in …
25External flow — In fluid mechanics, external flow is such a flow that boundary layers develop freely, without constraints imposed by adjacent surfaces. Accordingly, there will always exist a region of the flow outside the boundary layer in which velocity,… …
26Internal flow — In fluid mechanics, internal flow is a flow for which the fluid is confined by a surface. Hence the boundary layer is unable to develop without eventually being constrained. The internal flow configuration represents a convenient geometry for… …
27controlled separated flow — An airflow that lies midway between a steady streamline (laminar) flow and an unsteady (turbulent) flow. The flow separates at sharp leading edges as a result of the boundary layer effect but does not break down into a turbulent airflow. Instead …
28laminar flow — The flow of air over a surface in smooth layers and without any turbulence or cross flow of layers of air. See laminar boundary layer …
29mainstream flow — that part of the flow in a river, for example, that is away from the bottom and surface and is not under the influence of the boundary layer …
