low turbulence flow
1Turbulence — 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… …
2flow — Synonyms and related words: Atticism, Brownian movement, abound, abundance, accrue from, advance, affluence, afflux, affluxion, air flow, ample sufficiency, ampleness, amplitude, angular motion, appropriateness, arise, arise from, ascend,… …
3turbulence — Synonyms and related words: CAT, ado, aerospace, aerosphere, agitation, air flow, air hole, air pocket, airspace, asperity, babel, bluster, bobbery, boil, boiling, brawl, broil, brouhaha, bump, bumpiness, burble, bustle, cacophony, ceiling, chaos …
4Clear-air turbulence — For other uses, see Clear Air Turbulence (disambiguation). Clear air turbulence (CAT) is the turbulent movement of air masses in the absence of any visual cues such as clouds, and is caused when bodies of air moving at widely different speeds… …
5atmospheric turbulence — ▪ meteorology small scale, irregular air motions characterized by winds that vary in speed and direction. Turbulence is important because it mixes and churns the atmosphere and causes water vapour, smoke, and other substances, as well as… …
6Potential flow — streamlines around a NACA 0012 airfoil at 11° angle of attack, with upper and lower streamtubes identified. In fluid dynamics, potential flow describes the velocity field as the gradient of a scalar function: the velocity potential. As a result,… …
7Ultrasonic flow meter — A ultrasonic flow meter measures the velocity of a liquid or gas through a pipe using acoustic sensors. This has some advantages over other measurement techniques. The results are slightly affected by temperature, density or conductivity.… …
8Taylor-Couette flow — The Taylor Couette flow consists of a viscous fluid confined in the gap between two rotating cylinders. For low angular velocities, measured by the Reynolds number Re, the flow is steady and purely azimuthal. This laminar basic state is known as… …
9Inviscid 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 …
10pyroclastic flow — ▪ volcanism in a volcanic eruption, a fluidized mixture of hot rock fragments, hot gases, and entrapped air that moves at high speed in thick, gray to black, turbulent clouds that hug the ground. The temperature of the volcanic gases can… …
