Isothermal flow is a model of Compressible flow compressible fluid flow whereby the flow remains at the same temperature while flowing in a conduit. ref Shapiro, A.H., The Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Compressible Fluid Flow, Volume 1 , Ronald Press, 1953. ref In the model, heat transferred through the walls of the conduit is offset by frictional heating back into the flow. Although the flow temperature remains constant, a change in stagation temperature occurs because of a change in velocity. The interesting part of this flow is that the flow is choked at math 1 sqrt k math and not at Mach number equal to one as in the case of many other model such as Fanno flow . This fact applies to real gases as well as ideal gases. For an important practical case of a gas flow throw a long tube the model has an applicability in situations which occurs in a relatively long distance and where heat transfer is relatively rapid so that the temperature can be treated, for engineering purposes, as a constant. This model has also applicability as upper boundary to Fanno flow .

Pipe flow , a branch of Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics , is a type of liquid flow within a closed Pipe fluid conveyance conduit conduit in the sense of a means of containment . The other type of flow within a conduit is open channel flow . These two types of flow are similar in many ways, but differ in one important respect. Pipe flow does not have a free surface which is found in open channel flow. Pipe flow, being confined within closed conduit, does not exert direct atmospheric pressure, but does exert hydraulic pressure on the conduit. Not all flow within a closed conduit is considered pipe flow. Storm sewer Storm sewers are closed conduits and usually maintain a free surface and therefore are considered open channel flow. The exception to this is when a storm sewer operates at full capacity, and then can become pipe flow. Energy in pipe flow is expressed as Hydraulic head head and is defined ... of flow within a pipe, diagrams often contain a hydraulic grade line. Pipe flow is subject to frictional losses as defined by the Darcy Weisbach equation Darcy Weisbach formula .

for the molding defect Flow marks A flow line , used on a drilling rig, is a large diameter pipe typically a section of Casing borehole casing that is connected to the bell nipple under the drill floor and extends to the possum belly on the mud tank s and acts as a return line, for the drilling fluid as it comes out of the hole , to the mud tank s. Flow Line Components The flow line will typically have equipment attached to it, such as a flow show , possum belly and the sample box Flow Show The flow show shows whether drilling fluid is flowing down the flow line or not and any changes in that flow. High pressure jets are typically attached along its length to dislodge any obstructions such as drill cuttings collecting in one spot that may occur. Possum Belly The possum belly is used to slow the flow of returning drilling fluid before it hits the shale shakers . This enables the shale shaker to clean the cuttings out of the drilling fluid before it is returned to the pits for circulation. Sample Box Another common add on is the sample box. This is a heavy duty rubber hose that is inserted at the end of the flow line and at the other end emplaced into the sample box itself. The sample box is used to capture samples of drill cuttings for geological logging. The box is typically equipped with a raising door that allows the water and cuttings to escape after a sample is collected. Stinger Line A stinger line is similar to a flow line, but unlike a flow line is not used to maintain circulation. The stinger line is attached to the blowout preventer to allow for the pressure from a blowout to be released. The stinger line usually will run parallel to the flow line.

Helicoidal flow is a contributing factor to the formation of slip off slopes and river cliffs in a meandering section of the river. The helicoidal motion of the flow aids the processes of hydraulic action and corrasion on the outside of the meander, and sweeps sediment across the floor of the meander towards the inside of the meander. ref blockquote One of the important consequences of helical flow in meanders is that sediment eroded from the outside of a meander bend tends to be moved to the inner bank or point bar of the next downstream bend. blockquote Citation last Hickin first Edward J. contribution Meandering Channels year 2003 title Encyclopedia of Sediments and Sedimentary Rocks editor last Middleton editor first Gerard V. volume pages 432 place New York publisher Springer id ISBN 1 402 008724 ref Notes reflist References http www.agu.org pubs crossref 2002 2001JC001082.shtml Journal of Geophysical Research, Volume 107 2002 See also Laminar flow Turbulent flow Baer s law Secondary flow River bends Secondary flow in river bends Category Rivers nn Helikoid straum ... more details

Unreferenced date December 2009 A supercritical flow is when the flow velocity is larger than the wave velocity. The analogous condition in gas dynamics is supersonic . Information travels at the wave velocity. This is the velocity at which waves travel outwards from a pebble thrown into a lake. The flow velocity is the velocity at which a leaf in the flow travels. If a pebble is thrown into a supercritical flow then the ripples will all move down stream whereas in a subcritical flow some would travel up stream and some would travel down stream. It is only in supercritical flows that hydraulic jump s Tidal bore bores can occur.
