  2. Bosanquet equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosanquet_equation

    The Bosanquet equation is a differential equation that is second-order in the time derivative, similar to Newton's Second Law, and therefore takes into account the fluid inertia. Equations of motion, like the Washburn's equation, that attempt to explain a velocity (instead of acceleration) as proportional to a driving force are often described ...

  3. Brachistochrone curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachistochrone_curve

    The curve of fastest descent is not a straight or polygonal line (blue) but a cycloid (red).. In physics and mathematics, a brachistochrone curve (from Ancient Greek βράχιστος χρόνος (brákhistos khrónos) 'shortest time'), [1] or curve of fastest descent, is the one lying on the plane between a point A and a lower point B, where B is not directly below A, on which a bead slides ...

  4. Stokes number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_number

    The Stokes number (Stk), named after George Gabriel Stokes, is a dimensionless number characterising the behavior of particles suspended in a fluid flow. The Stokes number is defined as the ratio of the characteristic time of a particle (or droplet) to a characteristic time of the flow or of an obstacle, or

  5. Discharge (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discharge_(hydrology)

    In hydrology, discharge is the volumetric flow rate (volume per time, in units of m 3 /h or ft 3 /h) of a stream. It equals the product of average flow velocity (with dimension of length per time, in m/h or ft/h) and the cross-sectional area (in m 2 or ft 2). [1] It includes any suspended solids (e.g. sediment), dissolved chemicals like CaCO

  6. Water balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_balance

    Nile basin water balance Global distribution of water balance in the soil averaged over the years 1981-2010 from the CHELSA-BIOCLIM+ data set [1]. The law of water balance states that the inflows to any water system or area is equal to its outflows plus change in storage during a time interval.

  8. Accidental release source terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accidental_release_source...

    For many gases, k ranges from about 1.09 to about 1.41, and therefore [(k + 1) / 2] k / (k − 1 ) ranges from 1.7 to about 1.9, which means that choked velocity usually occurs when the absolute source vessel pressure is at least 1.7 to 1.9 times as high as the absolute downstream ambient atmospheric pressure.

  9. Nile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nile

    The flow of the Blue Nile varies considerably over its yearly cycle and is the main contribution to the large natural variation of the Nile flow. During the dry season the natural discharge of the Blue Nile can be as low as 113 m 3 /s (4,000 cu ft/s), although upstream dams regulate the flow of the river.
