  2. Navier–Stokes equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navier–Stokes_equations

    The domain for these equations is commonly a 3 or less dimensional Euclidean space, for which an orthogonal coordinate reference frame is usually set to explicit the system of scalar partial differential equations to be solved. In 3-dimensional orthogonal coordinate systems are 3: Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical. Expressing the Navier ...

  3. Equation of state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_state

    At present, there is no single equation of state that accurately predicts the properties of all substances under all conditions. An example of an equation of state correlates densities of gases and liquids to temperatures and pressures, known as the ideal gas law, which is roughly accurate for weakly polar gases at low pressures and moderate temperatures.

  4. Thermal equation of state of solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_equation_of_state...

    In physics, the thermal equation of state is a mathematical expression of pressure P, temperature T, and, volume V.The thermal equation of state for ideal gases is the ideal gas law, expressed as PV=nRT (where R is the gas constant and n the amount of substance), while the thermal equation of state for solids is expressed as:

  5. Van der Waals equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_equation

    This "law" is just a special case of dimensional analysis in which an equation containing 6 dimensional quantities, ⁠,,,,, ⁠, and 3 independent dimensions, [p], [v], [T] (independent means that "none of the dimensions of these quantities can be represented as a product of powers of the dimensions of the remaining quantities", [45] and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_dynamics

    The equation above is a vector equation in a three-dimensional flow, but it can be expressed as three scalar equations in three coordinate directions. The conservation of momentum equations for the compressible, viscous flow case is called the Navier–Stokes equations. [2] Conservation of energy

  7. Bulk modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_modulus

    The bulk modulus (which is usually positive) can be formally defined by the equation K = − V d P d V , {\displaystyle K=-V{\frac {dP}{dV}},} where P {\displaystyle P} is pressure, V {\displaystyle V} is the initial volume of the substance, and d P / d V {\displaystyle dP/dV} denotes the derivative of pressure with respect to volume.

  8. Birch–Murnaghan equation of state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birch–Murnaghan_equation...

    The Birch–Murnaghan isothermal equation of state, published in 1947 by Albert Francis Birch of Harvard, [1] is a relationship between the volume of a body and the pressure to which it is subjected. Birch proposed this equation based on the work of Francis Dominic Murnaghan of Johns Hopkins University published in 1944, [ 2 ] so that the ...

  9. Murnaghan equation of state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murnaghan_equation_of_state

    The Murnaghan equation of state is a relationship between the volume of a body and the pressure to which it is subjected. This is one of many state equations that have been used in earth sciences and shock physics to model the behavior of matter under conditions of high pressure.
