  2. Cyclorotor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclorotor

    Cyclorotor before installation on small-scale cyclogyro. A cyclorotor, cycloidal rotor, cycloidal propeller or cyclogiro, is a fluid propulsion device that converts shaft power into the acceleration of a fluid using a rotating axis perpendicular to the direction of fluid motion.

  3. Lagrangian and Eulerian specification of the flow field

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_and_Eulerian...

    Leonhard Euler is credited of introducing both specifications in two publications written in 1755 [3] and 1759. [4] [5] Joseph-Louis Lagrange studied the equations of motion in connection to the principle of least action in 1760, later in a treaty of fluid mechanics in 1781, [6] and thirdly in his book Mécanique analytique. [5]

  4. Dynamic positioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_positioning

    Motion reference units, vertical reference units or vertical reference sensors, VRUs or MRUs or VRSs, determine the ship's roll, pitch and heave. Wind sensors are fed into the DP system feedforward , so the system can anticipate wind gusts before the ship is blown off position.

  5. Turbulence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbulence

    The sky depicted in Vincent van Gogh's 1889 painting, The Starry Night has been studied for its turbulent flow. [1]In fluid dynamics, turbulence or turbulent flow is fluid motion characterized by chaotic changes in pressure and flow velocity.

  6. Outline of fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_fluid_dynamics

    It has several subdisciplines, including aerodynamics (the study of air and other gases in motion) and hydrodynamics (the study of water and other liquids in motion). Fluid dynamics has a wide range of applications, including calculating forces and moments on aircraft, determining the mass flow rate of petroleum through pipelines, predicting ...

  7. Eddy (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_(fluid_dynamics)

    This can occur around cylinders and spheres, for any fluid, cylinder size and fluid speed, provided that the flow has a Reynolds number in the range ~40 to ~1000. [ 1 ] In fluid dynamics , an eddy is the swirling of a fluid and the reverse current created when the fluid is in a turbulent flow regime. [ 2 ]
