2. Couette flow - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Couette_flow

   Couette flow. In fluid dynamics, Couette flow is the flow of a viscous fluid in the space between two surfaces, one of which is moving tangentially relative to the other. The relative motion of the surfaces imposes a shear stress on the fluid and induces flow. Depending on the definition of the term, there may also be an applied pressure ...

3. Boundary conditions in fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_conditions_in...

   Showing wall boundary condition. The most common boundary that comes upon in confined fluid flow problems is the wall of the conduit. The appropriate requirement is called the no-slip boundary condition, wherein the normal component of velocity is fixed at zero, and the tangential component is set equal to the velocity of the wall.

4. Trombe wall - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trombe_wall

   Trombe wall. A Trombe wall is a massive equator-facing wall that is painted a dark color in order to absorb thermal energy from incident sunlight and covered with a glass on the outside with an insulating air-gap between the wall and the glaze. A Trombe wall is a passive solar building design strategy that adopts the concept of indirect-gain ...

5. Plug flow - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug_flow

   Plug flow. In fluid mechanics, plug flow is a simple model of the velocity profile of a fluid flowing in a pipe. In plug flow, the velocity of the fluid is assumed to be constant across any cross-section of the pipe perpendicular to the axis of the pipe. The plug flow model assumes there is no boundary layer adjacent to the inner wall of the ...

6. Electro-osmosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-osmosis

   Electro-osmosis. In chemistry, electro-osmotic flow ( EOF, hyphen optional; synonymous with electro-osmosis or electro-endosmosis) is the motion of liquid induced by an applied potential across a porous material, capillary tube, membrane, microchannel, or any other fluid conduit. Because electro- osmotic velocities are independent of conduit ...

7. Rainscreen - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainscreen

   Rainscreen. A rainscreen is an exterior wall detail where the siding (wall cladding) stands off from the moisture - resistant surface of an air/water barrier applied to the sheathing to create a capillary break and to allow drainage and evaporation. The rainscreen is the cladding or siding itself [1] but the term rainscreen implies a system of ...
