  2. Buoyancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy

    Buoyancy also applies to fluid mixtures, and is the most common driving force of convection currents. In these cases, the mathematical modelling is altered to apply to continua, but the principles remain the same. Examples of buoyancy driven flows include the spontaneous separation of air and water or oil and water.

  3. Brunt–Väisälä frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunt–Väisälä_frequency

    In atmospheric dynamics, oceanography, asteroseismology and geophysics, the Brunt–Väisälä frequency, or buoyancy frequency, is a measure of the stability of a fluid to vertical displacements such as those caused by convection. More precisely it is the frequency at which a vertically displaced parcel will oscillate within a statically ...

  4. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    If the buoyancy of an (unrestrained and unpowered) object exceeds its weight, it tends to rise. An object whose weight exceeds its buoyancy tends to sink. Calculation of the upwards force on a submerged object during its accelerating period cannot be done by the Archimedes principle alone; it is necessary to consider dynamics of an object ...

  5. Neutral buoyancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_buoyancy

    Neutral buoyancy occurs when an object's average density is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed, resulting in the buoyant force balancing the force of gravity that would otherwise cause the object to sink (if the body's density is greater than the density of the fluid in which it is immersed) or rise (if it is less). An ...

    Từ điển bách khoa Việt Nam (lit: Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Vietnam) is a state-sponsored Vietnamese-language encyclopedia that was first published in 1995. It has four volumes consisting of 40,000 entries, the final of which was published in 2005. [1] The encyclopedia was republished in 2011.

  7. Boussinesq approximation (buoyancy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boussinesq_approximation...

    In fluid dynamics, the Boussinesq approximation (pronounced, named for Joseph Valentin Boussinesq) is used in the field of buoyancy-driven flow (also known as natural convection). It ignores density differences except where they appear in terms multiplied by g, the acceleration due to gravity.

  8. Hydrometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrometer

    Schematic drawing of a hydrometer. The lower the density of the fluid, the deeper the weighted float B sinks. The depth is read off the scale A.. A hydrometer or lactometer is an instrument used for measuring density or relative density of liquids based on the concept of buoyancy.
