flow with large reynolds numbers
1Reynolds 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… …
2Dynamic similarity (Reynolds and Womersley numbers) — Contents 1 Derivation 2 Dynamic similarity use 3 Boundary layer thickness 4 References 5 Exter …
3Magnetic Reynolds number — The Magnetic Reynolds number is a dimensionless group that occurs in magnetohydrodynamics. It gives an estimate of the effects of magnetic advection to magnetic diffusion, and is typically defined by: where U is a typical velocity scale of the… …
4Collapsible flow — is a phenomenon that occurs in steady flow in tubes with significant distensibility, or the capability of swelling or stretching, under conditions of lower internal pressure relative to pressure outside the tube.[1] Such conditions occur rarely… …
5People associated with the University of Manchester — Many famous people have worked or studied at the Victoria University of Manchester and the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology institutions which merged in 2004 to form the University of Manchester. The names of the 23… …
6Turbulence — 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… …
7Insect wing — Original veins and wing posture of a dragonfly. Hoverflies hovering to mate …
8D'Alembert's paradox — In fluid dynamics, d Alembert s paradox (or the hydrodynamic paradox) is a contradiction reached in 1752 by French mathematician Jean le Rond d Alembert.[1] D Alembert proved that – for incompressible and inviscid potential flow – the drag force… …
9Insect flight — Insects are the only group of invertebrates known to have evolved flight. Insects possess some remarkable flight characteristics and abilities, still far superior to attempts by humans to replicate their capabilities. Even our understanding of… …
10Orr–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… …
