English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Statistical Graphs and Diagrams
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
DEF

The figure described by the extremity of a vector that has a fixed origin and a position vector equal to the velocity of a moving particle.

CONT

Hodograph method: a method used essentially for the study of two-dimensional steady movements of a perfect fluid in which, instead of the coordinates (x,y) of the physical plane, the independent variables taken are the components mu and v of the velocity q with reference to these axes .... The method is applied to determinations of incompressible flow or of compressible flow.
