flow curve
1Flow measurement — is the quantification of bulk fluid movement. Flow can be measured in a variety of ways. Positive displacement flow meters acumulate a fixed volume of fluid and then count the number of times the volume is filled to measure flow. Other flow… …
2isovolume pressure-flow curve — a curve generated by plotting various values of pressures against the corresponding airflows at a single lung volume. At high lung volumes (approaching total lung capacity), the maximum flow or flow limitation is usually not reached. See… …
3flow — 1. To bleed from the uterus less profusely than in flooding. 2. The menstrual discharge. 3. Movement of a liquid or gas; specifically, the volume of liquid or gas passing a given point per unit of …
4curve — 1. A nonangular continuous bend or line. 2. A chart or graphic representation, by means of a continuous line connecting individual observations, of the course of a physiologic activity, of the number of cases of a disease in a given period, or of …
5flow-mass curve — 1. A mass curve with runoff discharge as a hydrologic quantity [16]. 2. The integral of the curve of a hydrograph [16] …
6flow duration curve — A curve of cumulative streamflow versus the corresponding per cent of time [16] …
7Fundamental diagram of traffic flow — The fundamental diagram of traffic flow is a diagram that gives a relation between the traffic flux (vehicles/hour) and the traffic density (vehicles/km). A macroscopic traffic model involving traffic flux, traffic density and velocity forms the… …
8Traffic flow — The mathematical or engineering study of traffic flow, and in particular vehicular traffic flow, is done with the aim of achieving a better understanding of these phenomena and to assist in the reduction of traffic congestion problems.The first… …
9Vector flow — In mathematics, the vector flow refers to a set of closely related concepts of the flow determined by a vector field. These appear in a number of different contexts, including differential topology, Riemannian geometry and Lie group theory. These …
