Term
Archimede's Principle
Definition
A Greek Physicist who discovered the nature of bouyant force which is that the magnitude of bouyant force always equals the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
Term
Bernoulli's Equation
Definition

Daniel Bernoulli discovered an equation found an equation that really relates preasure to fluid speed and elevation. 

But in this relationship it assumed that the fluid is incompressable and taminar in flow

Term

Poiseuille's law

 

Definition
the Rate of flow is dependent upon the pressure difference, dimension of the tube and viscosity of the fluid.
Term
Reynolds Number
Definition
Reynolds founded an equaation that would yeild a dimensionless value that will determine whether the fluid flow is turbulent or laminar.
