Boundary conditions alternately named for Swift and Stieber or this man are frequently used tosolve the lubrication equation for hydrodynamic bearing problems.
Boundary conditions alternately named for Swift and Stieber or this man are frequently used tosolve the lubrication equation for hydrodynamic bearing problems. Closure assumptions are appliedto equations upon which a technique named for this man has been used, and that technique separatesdynamical fields into slowly varying mean fields and rapidly varying turbulent components. Whenhis namesake averaging is applied to the Navier-Stokes equations, it causes his stress tensor toappear on the right hand side of the NS equations, which represents the effect of (*) turbulence onmean flow. Moody diagrams relate the friction factor, pipe roughness and a quantity named for this man,which is defined as the product of characteristic velocity and length divided by kinematic viscosity, or theratio of inertial to viscous forces. For 10 points, name this physicist whose dimensionless numbercharacterizes laminar or turbulent flow.
