  2. Non ideal compressible fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non_ideal_compressible...

    For example, the Mach number evolution of an ideal gas in a supersonic nozzle depends only on the heat capacity ratio (namely on the fluid) and on the exhaust-to-stagnation pressure ratio. [6] Considering real-gas effects, instead, even fixing the fluid and the pressure ratio, different total states yield different Mach profiles. [17]

  3. Milnor–Thurston kneading theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milnor–Thurston_kneading...

    Kneading theory provides an effective calculus for describing the qualitative behavior of the iterates of a piecewise monotone mapping f of a closed interval I of the real line into itself. Some quantitative invariants of this discrete dynamical system , such as the lap numbers of the iterates and the Artin–Mazur zeta function of f are ...

  4. Tesla valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_valve

    This technology uses a Tesla valve to make sure that the coolant flow is unidirectional. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] Principle of operation of a Tesla valve: The upper figure shows flow in the blocking direction: at each segment, part of the fluid is turned around (red) and interferes with the forward flow (black).

  5. Dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_numbers_in...

    Dimensionless numbers (or characteristic numbers) have an important role in analyzing the behavior of fluids and their flow as well as in other transport phenomena. [1] They include the Reynolds and the Mach numbers, which describe as ratios the relative magnitude of fluid and physical system characteristics, such as density, viscosity, speed of sound, and flow speed.

  6. MUSCL scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUSCL_scheme

    An example of MUSCL type state parabolic-reconstruction. It is possible to extend the idea of linear-extrapolation to higher order reconstruction, and an example is shown in the diagram opposite. However, for this case the left and right states are estimated by interpolation of a second-order, upwind biased, difference equation.

  7. Outline of fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_fluid_dynamics

    The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to fluid dynamics: . In physics, physical chemistry and engineering, fluid dynamics is a subdiscipline of fluid mechanics that describes the flow of fluids – liquids and gases.

  8. Natural mapping (interface design) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_mapping_(interface...

    The term natural mapping comes from proper and natural arrangements for the relations between controls and their movements to the outcome from such action into the world. The real function of natural mappings is to reduce the need for any information from a user’s memory to perform a task.

  9. Volume of fluid method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_of_fluid_method

    It is a scalar function, defined as the integral of a fluid's characteristic function in the control volume, namely the volume of a computational grid cell. The volume fraction of each fluid is tracked through every cell in the computational grid, while all fluids share a single set of momentum equations, i.e. one for each spatial direction.
