Chezy and Manning developed equations that are used to determine the average volumetric flowrate in open channels. This article explains a laboratory method that was developed and tested to further ...

Designers should always consider flow velocity through hose and tubing to optimize performance while avoiding excessive losses or pressure spikes. This aerospace high-pressure pump installation ...

A relatively simple method of estimating sand velocity and hold-up in multiphase flowlines allows a design engineer to determine whether a producing well needs a sand-exclusion system at a subsea ...

The flow of all fluids, whether liquid or gas, will have one of three states: laminar, turbulent, and transitional. This article discusses flow principles and pressure-based flow measurement. Laminar ...

AMES, Iowa – Neal Iverson started with two lessons in ice physics when asked to describe a research paper about glacier ice flow that has just been published by the journal Science. First, said the ...

The many applications of flow measurement include uses in water supply, medical research, oil exploration, food processing and distribution of gas. The uses of this technology are very diverse, with ...

Velocity is a fundamental property of rocks that depends on density and elastic moduli. It varies laterally as well as vertically due to the physical-geologic variations of rocks. Velocities are ...
