  2. Concretion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concretion

    [70] [60] [71] [72] In addition to providing information about the orientation of past fluid flow in the host rock, elongate concretions can provide insight into local permeability trends (i.e., permeability correlation structure; variation in groundwater velocity, [73] and the types of geological features that influence flow.

  3. Boundary conditions in fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_conditions_in...

    Showing wall boundary condition. The most common boundary that comes upon in confined fluid flow problems is the wall of the conduit. The appropriate requirement is called the no-slip boundary condition, wherein the normal component of velocity is fixed at zero, and the tangential component is set equal to the velocity of the wall. [1]

  4. Fault zone hydrogeology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_zone_hydrogeology

    For example, minerals like carbonates, quartz, and feldspars are dissolved by the fluid-rock interactions due to enhanced permeability. [1] Further introduction of fluids can either continuously dissolve or otherwise re-precipitate minerals in the fault core, and thus alters the permeability. [ 1 ]

  5. Fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_dynamics

    A flow that is not a function of time is called steady flow. Steady-state flow refers to the condition where the fluid properties at a point in the system do not change over time. Time dependent flow is known as unsteady (also called transient [8]). Whether a particular flow is steady or unsteady, can depend on the chosen frame of reference.

  6. Sediment transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sediment_transport

    The location in the flow in which a particle is entrained is determined by the Rouse number, which is determined by the density ρ s and diameter d of the sediment particle, and the density ρ and kinematic viscosity ν of the fluid, determine in which part of the flow the sediment particle will be carried. [19]

  7. Glossary of geology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_geology

    An indication of the direction of fluid flow (at the time of deposition) visible in a rock. paleontology palagonite An alteration product from the interaction of water with volcanic glass of chemical composition similar to basalt or from the interaction between water and basalt melt. paralithic A weathered layer of bedrock. pegmatite

  8. Plug flow reactor model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug_flow_reactor_model

    Real plug flow reactors do not satisfy the idealized flow patterns, back mix flow or plug flow deviation from ideal behavior can be due to channeling of fluid through the vessel, recycling of fluid within the vessel or due to the presence of stagnant region or dead zone of fluid in the vessel. [5] Real plug flow reactors with non-ideal behavior ...

  9. Hydrological model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrological_model

    The analogs to fluid flow are the flux of electricity, heat, and solutes, respectively. [5] The corresponding analogs to fluid potential are voltage, temperature, and solute concentration (or chemical potential). The analogs to hydraulic conductivity are electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and the solute diffusion coefficient.
