  2. Buoyancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy

    To find the force of buoyancy acting on the object when in air, using this particular information, this formula applies: Buoyancy force = weight of object in empty space − weight of object immersed in fluid. The final result would be measured in Newtons. Air's density is very small compared to most solids and liquids.

  3. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    However, due to buoyancy, the balloon is pushed "out of the way" by the air and will drift in the same direction as the car's acceleration. When an object is immersed in a liquid, the liquid exerts an upward force, which is known as the buoyant force, that is proportional to the weight of the displaced liquid.

  4. Calculation of buoyancy flows and flows inside buildings

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculation_of_buoyancy...

    The momentum equation in the direction of gravity should be modeled for buoyant forces resulting from buoyancy. [1] Hence the momentum equation is given by ∂ρv/∂t + V.∇(ρv)= -g((ρ-ρ°) - ∇P+μ∇ 2 v + S v. In the above equation -g((ρ-ρ°) is the buoyancy term, where ρ° is the reference density. On discretizing the above ...

  5. Stokes' law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes'_law

    Creeping flow past a falling sphere in a fluid (e.g., a droplet of fog falling through the air): streamlines, drag force F d and force by gravity F g. At terminal (or settling) velocity, the excess force F e due to the difference between the weight and buoyancy of the sphere (both caused by gravity [7]) is given by:

  6. Hydrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatics

    This vertical force is termed buoyancy or buoyant force and is equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction, to the weight of the displaced fluid. Mathematically, = where ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and V is the volume of fluid directly above the curved surface. [8]

  7. Added mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Added_mass

    Basset force for describing the effect of the body's relative motion history on the viscous forces in a Stokes flow; Basset–Boussinesq–Oseen equation for the description of the motion of – and forces on – a particle moving in an unsteady flow at low Reynolds numbers; Darwin drift for the relation between added mass and the Darwin drift ...

  8. Stack effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_effect

    The result is either a positive or negative buoyancy force. The greater the thermal difference and the height of the structure, the greater the buoyancy force, and thus the stack effect. The stack effect can be useful to drive natural ventilation in certain climates, but in other circumstances may be a cause of unwanted air infiltration or fire ...

  9. Displacement (fluid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(fluid)

    An object immersed in a liquid displaces an amount of fluid equal to the object's volume. Thus, buoyancy is expressed through Archimedes' principle, which states that the weight of the object is reduced by its volume multiplied by the density of the fluid. If the weight of the object is less than this displaced quantity, the object floats; if ...
