Flow measurement — is the quantification of bulk fluid movement. Flow can be measured in a variety of ways. Positive displacement flow meters acumulate a fixed volume of fluid and then count the number of times the volume is filled to measure flow. Other flow… … Wikipedia
Stream terrace — Stream terraces are relict features, such as floodplains, from periods when a stream was flowing at a higher elevation and has downcut to a lower elevation. Stream terraces often appear as plateaus on existing valley walls and indicate earlier… … Wikipedia
Stream thrust averaging — is a process used to convert 3 dimensional flow through a duct into 1 dimensional uniform flow. It makes the assumptions that the flow is mixed adiabatically and without friction. However, due to the mixing process, there is a net increase in the … Wikipedia
Stream cipher attack — Stream ciphers, where plaintext bits are combined with a cipher bit stream by an exclusive or operation (xor), can be very secure if used properly. However they are vulnerable to attack if certain precautions are not followed:*keys must never be… … Wikipedia
Stream function — The stream function is defined for two dimensional flows of various kinds. The stream function can be used to plot streamlines, which represent the trajectories of particles in a steady flow. Streamlines are perpendicular to equipotential lines.… … Wikipedia
Stream pool — A stream pool, in hydrology, is a stretch of a river or creek in which the water depth is above average and the stream velocity is quite low. [ [http://www.dnr.state.md.us/naturalresource/summer2004/education.html Matthew Chasse, Riffle… … Wikipedia
Balanced flow — In atmospheric science, balanced flow is an idealisation of atmospheric motion. The idealisation consists in considering the behaviour of one isolated parcel of air having constant density, its motion on a horizontal plane subject to selected… … Wikipedia
