51Nusselt number — In heat transfer at a boundary (surface) within a fluid, the Nusselt number is the ratio of convective to conductive heat transfer across (normal to) the boundary. Named after Wilhelm Nusselt, it is a dimensionless number. The conductive… …

53Momentum thickness — In aeronautics and viscous fluid theory, the boundary layer thickness ({delta}) is the distance from a fixed boundary wall where zero flow is considered to occur, and beyond {delta} the fluid is considered to move at a constant velocity. This… …
54Bernoulli's principle — This article is about Bernoulli s principle and Bernoulli s equation in fluid dynamics. For Bernoulli s Theorem (probability), see Law of large numbers. For an unrelated topic in ordinary differential equations, see Bernoulli differential… …
55Troposphere — The troposphere is the lowest portion of Earth s atmosphere. It contains approximately 75% of the atmosphere s mass and almost all of its water vapor and aerosols. The average depth of the troposphere is about 11 km (7 miles) in the middle… …
56Turbulence — In fluid dynamics, turbulence or turbulent flow is a fluid regime characterized by chaotic, stochastic property changes. This includes low momentum diffusion, high momentum convection, and rapid variation of pressure and velocity in space and… …
57Parasitic drag — (also called parasite drag) is drag caused by moving a solid object through a fluid. Parasitic drag is made up of many components, the most prominent being form drag. Skin friction and interference drag are also major components of parasitic drag …
58FALKNER — UNITED KINGDOM (see also List of Individuals) 24.1.1897 Peckham/UK 14.8.1965 Teddington/UK Victor Montague Falkner was from the early 1930s a collaborator of the National Physical Laboratory NPL and there remained during the war. He collaborated… …
59Cebeci-Smith model — The Cebeci Smith model is a 0 equation eddy viscosity model used in computational fluid dynamics analysis of turbulent boundary layer flows. The model gives eddy viscosity, mu t, as a function of the local boundary layer velocity profile. The… …
60Reynolds number — In fluid mechanics and heat transfer, the Reynolds number mathrm{Re} is a dimensionless number that gives a measure of the ratio of inertial forces ({old mathrm V} ho) to viscous forces (mu / L) and, consequently, it quantifies the relative… …
