flow properties
11Flow tracer — A flow tracer is any fluid property used to track flow. The concentration of a chemical compound in the fluid can be used as a chemical tracer, and characteristics such as temperature are physical tracers. Tracers may be artificially introduced,… …
12Flow cytometry — Analysis of biological material by detection of the light absorbing or fluorescing properties of cells or subcellular fractions such as chromosomes passing in a narrow stream through a laser beam. Flow cytometry can be used with automated sorting …
13Properties of the Moon and the Earth-Moon system — ▪ Table Properties of the Moon and the Earth Moon system Moon Earth approximate ratio (Moon to Earth) mean distance from Earth (orbital radius) 384,400 km period of orbit around Earth (sidereal period of revolution) 27.3217 Earth days inclination …
14flow cytometry — Slightly imprecise but common term for the use of the Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorter (FACS). Cells are labelled with fluorescent dye and then passed, in suspending medium, through a narrow dropping nozzle so that each cell is in a small… …
15Compressible flow — is the area of fluid mechanics that deals with fluids in which the fluid density varies significantly in response to a change in pressure. Compressibility effects are typically considered significant if the Mach number (the ratio of the flow… …
16laminar flow — Hydraul., Mech. the flow of a viscous fluid in which particles of the fluid move in parallel layers, each of which has a constant velocity but is in motion relative to its neighboring layers. [1945 50] * * * Fluid flow in which the fluid travels… …
17Balanced flow — In atmospheric science, balanced flow is an idealisation of atmospheric motion. The idealisation consists in considering the behaviour of one isolated parcel of air having constant density, its motion on a horizontal plane subject to selected… …
18Data-flow analysis — is a technique for gathering information about the possible set of values calculated at various points in a computer program. A program s control flow graph (CFG) is used to determine those parts of a program to which a particular value assigned… …
19Stokes flow — An object moving through a gas or liquid experiences a force in direction opposite to its motion. Terminal velocity is achieved when the drag force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force propelling the object. Shown is a… …
20Distributed data flow — An illustration of the basic concepts involved in the definition of a distributed data flow. Distributed data flow (also abbreviated as distributed flow) refers to a set of events in a distributed application or protocol that satisfies the… …
