Fluid Movement Flashcards
1
Q
Laminar Flow
A
Occurs at lower speeds with flow uniform over time (Newtonian).
2
Q
Streamline Flow
A
Another name for Laminar Flow. Velocity of flow constant over time.
3
Q
Terminal Velocity
A
A constant velocity where weight balances up thrust and drag (F=0).
4
Q
Turbulent Flow
A
The velocity of the flow changes over time, its chaotic.
5
Q
Up thrust
A
Upward force provided by the fluid/gas pressure = weight of displaced.
6
Q
Viscous Drag
A
The friction force between the solid and the fluid/gas.
