  2. Pressure-correction method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-correction_method

    The pressure value that is attempted to compute, is such that when plugged into momentum equations a divergence-free velocity field results. The mass imbalance is often also used for control of the outer loop. The name of this class of methods stems from the fact that the correction of the velocity field is computed through the pressure-field.

    Acceleration – In physics, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time. An object's acceleration is the net result of any and all forces acting on the object, as described by Newton's Second Law. [5] The SI unit for acceleration is metre per second squared (m s −2).

    The rate at which the velocity of a body changes with time, also the rate of change of the rate at which the position of a body changes with time. acceleration due to gravity The acceleration on an object caused by the force of gravitation. accelerometer An instrument used to measure the proper acceleration of a body irrespective of other ...

  5. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    The change in pressure over distance dx is dp and flow velocity v = ⁠ dx / dt ⁠. Apply Newton's second law of motion (force = mass × acceleration) and recognizing that the effective force on the parcel of fluid is −A dp. If the pressure decreases along the length of the pipe, dp is negative but the force resulting in flow is positive ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_graphs_and_derivatives

    Since acceleration differentiates the expression involving position, it can be rewritten as a second derivative with respect to time: a = d 2 s d t 2 . {\displaystyle a={\frac {d^{2}s}{dt^{2}}}.} Since, for the purposes of mechanics such as this, integration is the opposite of differentiation, it is also possible to express position as a ...

  7. Absement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absement

    Absement changes as an object remains displaced and stays constant as the object resides at the initial position. It is the first time-integral of the displacement [3] [4] (i.e. absement is the area under a displacement vs. time graph), so the displacement is the rate of change (first time-derivative) of the absement.

  8. Inertance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertance

    In fluid mechanics, inertance is a measure of the pressure difference in a fluid required to cause a unit change in the rate of change of volumetric flow-rate with time. The base SI units of inertance are kg m −4 or Pa s 2 m −3 and the usual symbol is I. The inertance of a tube is given by: = where

  9. Dynamic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_pressure

    Dynamic pressure is one of the terms of Bernoulli's equation, which can be derived from the conservation of energy for a fluid in motion. [1] At a stagnation point the dynamic pressure is equal to the difference between the stagnation pressure and the static pressure, so the dynamic pressure in a flow field can be measured at a stagnation point ...
