n
(physics, meteorology) The gravity-induced downslope flow of relatively cold air. Winds thus produced are called gravity winds.
n
The flow of air around an object.
adj
Streaming, flowing (of a liquid, object blown by wind, light, sound).
v
(transitive) To flow in a stream; stream down.
adj
(of a stream) Divided into several channels
n
(oceanography) The speed of individual waves (as opposed to the speed of groups of waves).
n
The straightening and widening of a stream or river.
n
The part of a fluid that moves continuously in a certain direction, especially (oceanography) short for ocean current.
n
A leading or drawing off of water from a stream or source.
n
(hydrology) The topographical boundary dividing two adjacent catchment basins, such as a ridge or a crest.
n
The outline of an eddy, where it joins the main current.
n
A structure of currents or winds near a horizontal boundary in which the flow direction rotates as one moves away from the boundary.
n
The mixing of out flowing river water and underlying seawater.
n
A stream that has no permanent tributaries.
n
(environmental engineering, US) Laws, regulations, and economic incentives or disincentives used by waste managers to direct waste generated in a specific geographic area to a designated landfill, recycling, or waste-to-energy facility.
n
karst formed by moving water, typically by a river
n
The air far upstream of an aerodynamic body, i.e. before the body has a chance to deflect, slow down or compress the air.
n
The mingling of fresh water with salt in rivers or bays, as by means of a flood of fresh water flowing toward or into the sea.
adj
Between the drainage areas of river systems
n
A stream velocity contour line.
n
A curve showing the vertical profile of a river from its head to mouth
adj
Characterised by flowing water; swiftly flowing; concerned with flowing rivers, streams, etc.
n
An inclined surface of the ground.
n
The principal current in a flow, such as a river or flow of air
n
The final depth of water in an open channel that is subject to continuous uniform flow
n
A type of strong, rough tide or current.
n
a stream formed by the confluence of two first order streams, or of a first order stream and a second order stream
n
A line which separates regions of differing wind velocity.
n
A small branch from the main flow of a river, hydrolic system, or electronic circuit.
n
Any steady flow or succession of material, such as water, air, radio signal or words.
n
A channel through which a stream flows or used to flow.
n
Obsolete spelling of stream [A small river; a large creek; a body of moving water confined by banks.]
n
A type of high voltage transient electrical discharge which forms at the surface of a conductive electrode in an insulating medium.
n
A three-dimensional visualization of streamline flow
n
A streamsurface that has an approximately circular cross section
n
A stream formed by the confluence of two second order streams, or of a second order stream and a third order stream.
n
(geology) A fast-flowing downhill current (of air or water) that carries silt
adj
(oil industry) Involving exploration and pre-production rather than refining and selling.
n
(physics) A double row of vortices in a fluid sometimes found in the wake of a cylindrical body (such as in a river, downstream of a bridge support), eddies being produced from alternate sides of the body.
n
(fluid dynamics) An oscillating flow that occurs when a fluid flows past a bluff body at certain velocities. Vortices are created at the back of the body and detach periodically from either side of it, forming a von Kármán vortex street.
n
(meteorology) A measure of how cold the atmosphere feels, taking not just actual temperature into account, but also wind, which can make the air feel considerably colder at the same air temperature.
