  2. Bulk modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_modulus

    The bulk modulus (or or ) of a substance is a measure of ... for example the shear modulus, is needed to determine wave speeds. Measurement ...

  3. Shear modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_modulus

    The shear modulus is one of several quantities for measuring the stiffness of materials. All of them arise in the generalized Hooke's law: . Young's modulus E describes the material's strain response to uniaxial stress in the direction of this stress (like pulling on the ends of a wire or putting a weight on top of a column, with the wire getting longer and the column losing height),

  4. Richardson number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richardson_Number

    The bulk Richardson number ... It can be shown that Ri < 1/4 is a necessary condition for velocity shear to overcome the tendency of a stratified fluid to remain ...

  5. Elastic modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_modulus

    Shear stress vs. shear strain curve: Plot the calculated shear stress against the applied shear strain for each increment.The slope of the stress-strain curve in its linear region provides the shear modulus, G=τ/γ, where τ is the shear stress and γ is the applied shear strain. Bulk modulus (K)

  6. Lamé parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamé_parameters

    Other names are sometimes employed for one or both parameters, depending on context. For example, the parameter μ is referred to in fluid dynamics as the dynamic viscosity of a fluid (not expressed in the same units); whereas in the context of elasticity, μ is called the shear modulus, [2]: p.333 and is sometimes denoted by G instead of μ.

  7. Bulk Richardson number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_Richardson_number

    The Bulk Richardson Number (BRN) is an approximation of the Gradient Richardson number. [1] The BRN is a dimensionless ratio in meteorology related to the consumption of turbulence divided by the shear production (the generation of turbulence kinetic energy caused by wind shear) of turbulence.

  8. Volume viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_viscosity

    The same goes for shear viscosity. For a Newtonian fluid the shear viscosity is a pure fluid property, but for a non-Newtonian fluid it is not a pure fluid property due to its dependence on the velocity gradient. Neither shear nor volume viscosity are equilibrium parameters or properties, but transport properties.

  9. Gassmann's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gassmann's_equation

    where () and () are the rock bulk moduli saturated with fluid 1 and fluid 2, () and () are the bulk moduli of the fluids themselves, and is the rock's porosity. Step 3: Leave the shear modulus unchanged (rigidity is independent of fluid type):
