... separates from the edge of the flow restriction is more predictable and consistent. This separation of the fluid creates the low pressure zone on the downstream side of the restriction, thus allowing that restriction to function as the primary element of a DP meter. Depending on the type of restrict ...

... by pushing down on the tube. On the opposite side, the liquid flowing out of the meter resists having its vertical motion decreased by pushing up on the tube. This action causes the tube to twist. When the tube is moving downward during the second half of the vibration cycle, it twists in the opposi ...

Chapter 2: Pressure Distribution in a Fluid

... Since, by definition, a fluid cannot withstand a shear stress without moving, (deformation) a stationary fluid must necessarily be completely free of shear stress (σij=0, i ≠ j). The only stress is the normal stress, which is referred to as the pressure. σii = -p σn = -p, which is compressive, as it ...

... Because fluid motions occur under the action of pressure and other forces, a necessary budget is that for momentum. The momentum of a piece of matter in movement is equal to the product of its mass by its velocity. In general, the velocity is a three-dimensional vector, ~u, and on a per-volume basis ...

The usual method of streamlining is to so proportion the rear of the object that the increase in pressure in the boundary layer, which is the basic cause of seperation, is sufficien ...

Lift (force)



A fluid flowing past the surface of a body exerts a force on it. Lift is the component of this force that is perpendicular to the oncoming flow direction. It contrasts with the drag force, which is the component of the surface force parallel to the flow direction. If the fluid is air, the force is called an aerodynamic force. In water, it is called a hydrodynamic force.
