Pressure gradient: The rate of change of air pressure per unit of horizontal distance. A large pressure gradient causes high winds, while a small pressure gradient causes light winds. Column: Is Matt ...
Vertical, convective, thermal energy transport is examined outside the box of microscale turbulent dispersion or unstable air ...
Water flow through a horizontal tube creates a pressure gradient due to friction. Several vertical tubes sticking out of the horizontal tube show pressure at various points. The effect of dynamic ...
