21fluid — [flo͞o′id] adj. [ME < L fluidus < fluere, to flow: see FLUCTUATE] 1. that can flow; not solid; able to move and change shape without separating when under pressure 2. of a fluid or fluids 3. like a fluid; that can change rapidly or easily;… …
22Pressure-Correction Methods — refer to a class of methods used in computational fluid dynamics for solving the Navier Stokes equations normally for incompressible flows. Common Properties The equations solved in this approach arise from the implicit time integration of the… …
23pressure — is a similar idea to stress, the force intensity at a point, except that pressure means something acting on the surface of an object rather than within the material of the object. When discussing the pressure within a fluid, the meaning is… …
24Fluid — Flu id (fl[=u] [i^]d), a. [L. fluidus, fr. fluere to flow: cf. F. fluide. See {Fluent}.] Having particles which easily move and change their relative position without a separation of the mass, and which easily yield to pressure; capable of… …
25fluid — ► NOUN ▪ a substance, such as a liquid or gas, that has no fixed shape and yields easily to external pressure. ► ADJECTIVE 1) able to flow easily. 2) not settled or stable. 3) smoothly elegant or graceful. DERIVATIVES fluidity noun fluid …
26pressure — ► NOUN 1) the continuous physical force exerted on or against an object by something in contact with it. 2) the use of persuasion or intimidation to make someone do something. 3) a feeling of stressful urgency. 4) the force per unit area exerted… …
27fluid mechanics — an applied science dealing with the basic principles of gaseous and liquid matter. Cf. fluid dynamics. [1940 45] * * * Study of the effects of forces and energy on liquids and gases. One branch of the field, hydrostatics, deals with fluids at… …
28Fluid solution — In general relativity, a fluid solution is an exact solution of the Einstein field equation in which the gravitational field is produced entirely by the mass, momentum, and stress density of a fluid.In astrophysics, fluid solutions are often… …
29Pressure coefficient — The pressure coefficient is a dimensionless number which describes the relative pressures throughout a flow field in fluid dynamics. The pressure coefficient is used in aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. Every point in a fluid flow field has its own …
