Hydrostatic & hydrodynamics (Concepts)

Branch of physics that deals with the characteristics of fluids at rest, particularly with the pressure in a fluid or exerted by a fluid (gas or liquid) on an immersed body.

• Hydrodynamics

• Buoyancy

• Hydrostatics

• Fluid

In applications, the principles of __________ are used for problems relating to pressure in deep water (pressure increases with depth) and high in the atmosphere (pressure lessens with altitude).

• Fluid

• Hydrostatics

• Hydrodynamics

• Buoyancy

Branch of physics that deals with the characteristics of fluids at motion, particularly with the ocean currents, wave patterns, and the flow of water through pipes.

• Hydrostatics

• Fluid

• Viscosity

• Hydrodynamics

Refers to the mass per unit volume of a fluid. It is an important property of a fluid, as it affects its behavior in a variety of ways.

• Density

• Pressure

• Buoyancy

• Depth

Scalar quantity that describes the force per unit area exerted by a fluid. It is expressed in units of force per unit area, such as N/m²

• Buoyancy

• Density

• Depth

• Pressure

In hydrostatic the weight of the fluid divided by the area supporting it. This definition highlights the relationship between pressure and the weight of the fluid, as well as the role of the area over which the pressure is exerted.

• Density

• Depth

• Pressure

• Buoyancy

This principle describes the behavior of fluids under pressure. It states that the pressure at any point in a fluid at rest is transmitted equally in all directions and is independent of the shape of the container. In other words, the pressure at a given point in a fluid is the same in all directions and is not affected by the shape or size of the container.

• Pascal

• Bernoulli

• Archimedes

• Poiseuille

This principle describes the behavior of objects immersed in a fluid. It states that the buoyant force exerted on an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces. In other words, the buoyant force is proportional to the volume of fluid displaced by the object.

• Pascal

• Poiseuille

• Bernoulli

• Archimedes

This principle describes the relationship between pressure and velocity in a fluid flowing through a pipe or over a surface. It states that as the velocity of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases, and vice versa.

• Bernoulli

• Poiseuille

• Pascal

• Archimedes

This principle describes the flow of fluid through a circular pipe. It states that the rate of fluid flow through a pipe is directly proportional to the pressure difference across the pipe and inversely proportional to the fluid's viscosity and the length of the pipe, and is proportional to the fourth power of the radius of the pipe.
