  2. Joukowsky transform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joukowsky_transform

    The right hand side contains (as a factor) the simple second-power law from potential flow theory, applied at the trailing edge near = + From conformal mapping theory, this quadratic map is known to change a half plane in the -space into potential flow around a semi-infinite straight line. Further, values of the power less than 2 will result in ...

  3. Tesla valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_valve

    Cross-section of a Tesla valve, displaying its cavity design, from the original patent application. Streakline flow visualization at Re=200 using dye injected upstream: (a) Forward direction. Two adjacent filaments remain in the central corridor of the conduit with only small lateral deflections. (b) Reverse direction.

  4. Dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_numbers_in...

    Dimensionless numbers (or characteristic numbers) have an important role in analyzing the behavior of fluids and their flow as well as in other transport phenomena. [1] They include the Reynolds and the Mach numbers, which describe as ratios the relative magnitude of fluid and physical system characteristics, such as density, viscosity, speed of sound, and flow speed.

  5. MUSCL scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUSCL_scheme

    An example of MUSCL type state parabolic-reconstruction. It is possible to extend the idea of linear-extrapolation to higher order reconstruction, and an example is shown in the diagram opposite. However, for this case the left and right states are estimated by interpolation of a second-order, upwind biased, difference equation.

  6. Fluid power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_power

    A fluid power system has a pump driven by a prime mover (such as an electric motor or internal combustion engine) that converts mechanical energy into fluid energy, Pressurized fluid is controlled and directed by valves into an actuator device such as a hydraulic cylinder or pneumatic cylinder, to provide linear motion, or a hydraulic motor or pneumatic motor, to provide rotary motion or torque.

  7. Natural mapping (interface design) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_mapping_(interface...

    The term natural mapping comes from proper and natural arrangements for the relations between controls and their movements to the outcome from such action into the world. The real function of natural mappings is to reduce the need for any information from a user’s memory to perform a task.

  8. Milnor–Thurston kneading theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milnor–Thurston_kneading...

    Kneading theory provides an effective calculus for describing the qualitative behavior of the iterates of a piecewise monotone mapping f of a closed interval I of the real line into itself. Some quantitative invariants of this discrete dynamical system , such as the lap numbers of the iterates and the Artin–Mazur zeta function of f are ...

  9. Power-law fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-law_fluid

    For example, if n were less than one, the power law predicts that the effective viscosity would decrease with increasing shear rate indefinitely, requiring a fluid with infinite viscosity at rest and zero viscosity as the shear rate approaches infinity, but a real fluid has both a minimum and a maximum effective viscosity that depend on the ...
