  2. Darcy's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy's_law

    Darcy's law is an equation that describes the flow of a fluid through a porous medium and through a Hele-Shaw cell.The law was formulated by Henry Darcy based on results of experiments [1] on the flow of water through beds of sand, forming the basis of hydrogeology, a branch of earth sciences.

  3. Power (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(physics)

    Power is the rate with respect to time at which work is done; it is the time derivative of work: =, where P is power, W is work, and t is time. We will now show that the mechanical power generated by a force F on a body moving at the velocity v can be expressed as the product: P = d W d t = F ⋅ v {\displaystyle P={\frac {dW}{dt}}=\mathbf {F ...

    The energy entering through A 1 is the sum of the kinetic energy entering, the energy entering in the form of potential gravitational energy of the fluid, the fluid thermodynamic internal energy per unit of mass (ε 1) entering, and the energy entering in the form of mechanical p dV work: = (+ + +) where Ψ = gz is a force potential due to the ...

    This also means the constraint forces do not add to the instantaneous power.) The time integral of this scalar equation yields work from the instantaneous power, and kinetic energy from the scalar product of acceleration with velocity. The fact that the workenergy principle eliminates the constraint forces underlies Lagrangian mechanics. [28]

  7. Shallow water equations - Wikipedia

    While a vertical velocity term is not present in the shallow-water equations, note that this velocity is not necessarily zero. This is an important distinction because, for example, the vertical velocity cannot be zero when the floor changes depth, and thus if it were zero only flat floors would be usable with the shallow-water equations.

    (c) When the tube C is removed, the water should rise up to the height D. Due to friction effects the water only rises to the point C. Evangelista Torricelli's original derivation can be found in work "De motu aquarum", which is an appendix to the second of the three main works of his "Opera Geometrica", titled "De motu gravium".

    Reynolds Experiment (1883). Osborne Reynolds standing beside his apparatus. In 1883, scientist Osborne Reynolds conducted a fluid dynamics experiment involving water and dye, where he adjusted the velocities of the fluids and observed the transition from laminar to turbulent flow, characterized by the formation of eddies and vortices.
