    Static pressure of fluid if all kinetic energy were converted into pressure. Template documentation This template's documentation is missing, inadequate, or does not accurately describe its functionality or the parameters in its code.

  3. Aquaplaning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaplaning

    A diagram of an aquaplaning tire Two vehicles aquaplaning through large puddles on the road's surface. Aquaplaning or hydroplaning by the tires of a road vehicle, aircraft or other wheeled vehicle occurs when a layer of water builds between the wheels of the vehicle and the road surface, leading to a loss of traction that prevents the vehicle from responding to control inputs.

  4. Pressure flow hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_Flow_Hypothesis

    According to the hypothesis, the high concentration of organic substances, particularly sugar, inside the phloem at a source such as a leaf creates a diffusion gradient (osmotic gradient) that draws water into the cells from the adjacent xylem. This creates turgor pressure, also called hydrostatic pressure, in the phloem. The hypothesis states ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kugel_fountain

    (C) Water is pumped back in an endless loop. (D) Pump. (E) Ball can easily be moved by hand. A kugel fountain (also called a floating sphere fountain or by the pleonasmic name kugel ball) is a water feature or sculpture where a sphere sits in a fitted hollow in a pedestal, and is supported by aquaplaning on a thin film of water.

  6. DP cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dp_cell

    A DP cell is a device that measures the differential pressure between two inputs. [1]Example: To measure the pressure difference between a container (or vessel) and the surrounding atmosphere, you may connect 'Hi' port of the DP-cell to a fitting that enters the vessel, using suitable tubing.

  7. Suction pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suction_pressure

    Turgid cells cannot absorb any more water. Thus, with reference to plant cells, the DPD can be described as the actual thirst of a cell for water [1] and can be expressed as : = Thus it is DPD that tends to equate and represents the water-absorbing ability of a cell, it is also called suction force (SF) or suction pressure (SP). The actual ...

  8. Potential temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_temperature

    The concept of potential temperature applies to any stratified fluid. It is most frequently used in the atmospheric sciences and oceanography. [2] The reason that it is used in both fields is that changes in pressure can result in warmer fluid residing under colder fluid – examples being dropping air temperature with altitude and increasing water temperature with depth in very deep ocean ...

  9. Schlieren imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlieren_imaging

    The term "schlieren imaging" is commonly used as a synonym for schlieren photography, though this article particularly treats visualization of the pressure field produced by ultrasonic transducers, generally in water or tissue-mimicking media. The method provides a two-dimensional (2D) projection image of the acoustic beam in real-time ("live ...
