Image2 Caption2 DrainsFrom DrainsTo Artery MeshName MeshNumber Superficialvein is a term used to describe a vein that is close to the surface of the body. It is used to differentiate veins that are close to the surface from veins that are far from the surface, known as deep vein s. Superficial veins are not paired with an artery, unlike the deep veins, which typically have an artery with the same name close by. Superficial veins are important physiology physiologically for cooling of the body . When the body is too hot the body shunts blood from the deep vein s to the superficial veins, to facilitate heat transfer to the surroundings. Superficial veins can be seen under the skin. Those below the level of the heart tend to bulge out. An immediate way to see this by looking at your hand raise it above your heart and the blood should drain lower it below your heart it will fill. Veins become more visually prominent when lifting heavy weight, especially after a period of proper strength training . Physiologically, the superficial veins are not as important as the deep veins as they carry less blood and are sometimes removed in a procedure called vein stripping , which is used to treat varicose vein s.

It is also called visual anatomy .

Superficial velocity or superficial flow velocity , in engineering of multiphase flow s and flows in porous media , is an hypothetical artificial fluid velocity calculated as if the given phase matter phase or fluid were the only one flowing or present in a given cross sectional area. Other phases, particles, the skeleton of the porous medium, etc. present in the channel are disregarded. Superficial velocity is used in many engineering equations because it is the value which is usually readily known and unambiguous, whereas real velocity is often variable from place to place, its mean not readily available in complex flow systems, and subject to assumptions. Superficial velocity can be expressed as math u s frac Q A math where u sub s sub superficial velocity of a given phase, m s Q volume flow rate of the phase, m sup 3 sup s A cross sectional area, m sup 2 sup Using the concept of porosity , the dependence between the advection velocity of fluid and the superficial velocity can be expressed as for one dimensional flow math u s phi v math where math phi math is porosity, dimensionless v is the advection velocity, m s. The local physical velocity can still be different than the advection velocity because the vector of the local fluid flow does not have to be parallel to that of average flow. Also, there may be local constriction in the flow channel. See also Volumetric flux Category Velocity Category Engineering pl Pr dko filtracji ... more details

globalize date December 2010 Superficial deposits refer to geological deposits typically of Quaternary age. These recent unconsolidated sediment s may include stream channel and floodplain deposits, beach sands, Scree talus gravels and glacial drift and moraine . All pre quaternary deposits are referred to as bedrock . Types and history There are several types of superficial deposit, including raised beaches and brickearth . These were formed in periods of climate change during the ice age s. The raised beaches were generally formed during periods of higher sea level , when ice sheets were at a minimum, and the sand and shingle deposits can be seen in many low cliffs. The brickearth is originally a wind blown dust deposited under extremely cold, dry conditions but much has been re deposited by flood water and mixed with flint s. Superficial deposits were originally recorded only onshore and around the coast where they were laid down by various natural processes such as action by ice, water and wind. More recently offshore deposits have been mapped and may be separate sea bed sediments. Most of these superficial deposits are unconsolidated sediments such as gravel , sand , silt and clay , and onshore they form relatively thin, often discontinuous patches. Almost all of these deposits were formerly classified on the basis of mode of origin with names such as, glacial deposits , river terrace deposits or blown sand or on their composition such as peat .
