Term: Momentum Equation
Definition: An equation derived from Newton’s Second Law that describes the change of momentum in a control volume due to external forces.
Term: Navier–Stokes Equations
Definition: A set of equations that describe the motion of viscous fluid substances, complex to solve in most cases.
Term: Bernoulli’s Equation
Definition: A principle that describes the conservation of energy for flowing fluids and is derived from Euler’s equations.
Term: Venturimeter
Definition: A device that measures flow rate using the pressure difference between two points in a pipe based on Bernoulli's principle.
Term: Pitot Tube
Definition: An instrument used to measure fluid velocity by assessing the difference in pressure between the stagnant and moving fluid.
