List of numbered roads in Durham Region — The numbered roads in the Regional Municipality of Durham account for about 832 kilometres (517 mi) of the county road system in the Canadian province of Ontario. The Durham Region Works Department owns and maintains the regional roads and… … Wikipedia
Couette flow — In fluid dynamics, Couette flow refers to the laminar flow of a viscous fluid in the space between two parallel plates, one of which is moving relative to the other. The flow is driven by virtue of viscous drag force acting on the fluid and the… … Wikipedia

Cheng Rotation Vane CRV — Cheng Rotation Vane The Cheng Rotation Vane CRV® consists of a set of stationary vanes in a cylindrical body which is placed immediately upstream of an elbow or tee in a piping system. It eliminates elbow induced turbulence which negatively… … Wikipedia
Boundary layer separation — is when the thin layer of viscous fluid leaves the surface of the body that it is flowing over. The viscosity of the fluid causes the boundary layer separation. [Wilcox, David C. Basic Fluid Mechanics. 3rd ed. Mill Valley: DCW Industries, Inc.,… … Wikipedia
