WordDefinition
bernoulli's principlenoun(fluid dynamics) The principle which states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy.
venturi effectnoun(physics, fluid mechanics) The reduction in fluid pressure that results when a fluid flows through a constriction.

magnus effectnounThe phenomenon whereby the path of a spinning object moving through a fluid is deflected in a manner that is not observed when the object is not spinning, explained by the difference in pressure of the fluid on opposite sides of the object.

flow fieldnoun(physics) The distribution of the density and velocity of a fluid over space and time
isentropic flownoun(thermodynamics) An idealised fluid flow in which entropy remains constant throughout the flow, or along a particular streamline.
autobarotropynoun(physics) The state of a fluid in which pressure and density surfaces coincide, as a result of a combination of barotropy and piezotropy
hydrostatic paradoxnounThe proposition in hydrostatics that any quantity of water, however small, may be made to counterbalance any weight, however great; or the law of the equality of pressure of fluids in all directions.
darcy's lawnounAn equation that describes the flow of a fluid through a porous medium.
buoyancynounThe ability of an object to stay afloat in a fluid.
plastic flownoun(physics) Any fluid flow in which movement is proportional to the applied force (above the yield value).
headnoun(countable) The part of the body of an animal or human which contains the brain, mouth, and main sense organs.
