In fluid dynamics, Rayleigh flow (after English physicist Lord Rayleigh) refers to frictionless, non-adiabatic fluid flow through a constant-area duct...

the Rayleigh number (a dimensionless number associated with natural convection), Rayleigh flow, the Rayleigh–Taylor instability, and Rayleigh's criterion...

fluid mechanics, the Rayleigh number (Ra, after Lord Rayleigh) for a fluid is a dimensionless number associated with buoyancy-driven flow, also known as free...

compressible flow textbooks. A given flow with a constant duct area can switch between the Fanno and Rayleigh models at these points. Rayleigh flow Mass injection...

result pertains to the fact that the flow is stable for μ > η 2 {\displaystyle \mu >\eta ^{2}} , consistent with Rayleigh's criterion. However, there are also...

In fluid thermodynamics, Rayleigh–Bénard convection is a type of natural convection, occurring in a planar horizontal layer of fluid heated from below...

Rayleigh may refer to: Rayleigh scattering Rayleigh–Jeans law Rayleigh waves Rayleigh (unit), a unit of photon flux named after the 4th Baron Rayleigh...

The Rayleigh–Taylor instability, or RT instability (after Lord Rayleigh and G. I. Taylor), is an instability of an interface between two fluids of different...

the flow is assumed to be steady and one-dimensional, and mass is added within the duct. Because the flow is adiabatic, unlike in Rayleigh flow, the...
