Balanced Flow - Inertial Flow

Inertial Flow

Unlike all other flows, inertial balance implies a uniform pressure field. In this idealisation:

  • the flow is frictionless;
  • no pressure gradient (and force) is present at all.

The only remaining action is the Coriolis force, which imparts curvature to the trajectory.

Famous quotes containing the word flow:

    Parents ought, through their own behavior and the values by which they live, to provide direction for their children. But they need to rid themselves of the idea that there are surefire methods which, when well applied, will produce certain predictable results. Whatever we do with and for our children ought to flow from our understanding of and our feelings for the particular situation and the relation we wish to exist between us and our child.
    Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
