  2. Hydraulic head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_head

    Hydraulic head or piezometric head is a measurement related to liquid pressure (normalized by specific weight) and the liquid elevation above a vertical datum. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is usually measured as an equivalent liquid surface elevation, expressed in units of length, at the entrance (or bottom) of a piezometer .

  3. Pore water pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pore_water_pressure

    The standard method for measuring pore water pressure below the water table employs a piezometer, which measures the height to which a column of the liquid rises against gravity; i.e., the static pressure (or piezometric head) of groundwater at a specific depth. [6] Piezometers often employ electronic pressure transducers to provide data.

  4. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    h = z + ⁠ p / ρg ⁠ is the piezometric head or hydraulic head (the sum of the elevation z and the pressure head) [11] [12] and; p 0 = p + q is the stagnation pressure (the sum of the static pressure p and dynamic pressure q). [13] The constant in the Bernoulli equation can be normalized.

  5. Streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streamlines,_streaklines...

    By definition, different streamlines at the same instant in a flow do not intersect, because a fluid particle cannot have two different velocities at the same point. Pathlines are allowed to intersect themselves or other pathlines (except the starting and end points of the different pathlines, which need to be distinct).

  6. Drawdown (hydrology) - Wikipedia

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

    Hydraulic head (or piezometric head) is a specific measurement of the potential of water above a vertical datum. [7] It is the height of the free surface of water above a given point beneath the surface. [4] Pumping level is the level of water in the well during pumping. [8] Specific capacity is the well yield per unit of drawdown. [8]

  7. Potentiometric surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentiometric_surface

    For groundwater "potentiometric surface" is a synonym of "piezometric surface" which is an imaginary surface that defines the level to which water in a confined aquifer would rise were it completely pierced with wells. [1] If the potentiometric surface lies above the ground surface, a flowing artesian well results.

  8. Fractional calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_calculus

    In 2013–2014 Atangana et al. described some groundwater flow problems using the concept of a derivative with fractional order. [51] [52] In these works, the classical Darcy law is generalized by regarding the water flow as a function of a non-integer order derivative of the piezometric head. This generalized law and the law of conservation of ...

  9. Mathematical problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_problem

    A mathematical problem is a problem that can be represented, analyzed, and possibly solved, with the methods of mathematics. This can be a real-world problem, such as computing the orbits of the planets in the solar system, or a problem of a more abstract nature, such as Hilbert's problems .
