  • Procédés de calcul (Mathématiques)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
DEF

Méthode qui permet de représenter les caractéristiques d'un écoulement souterrain bidimensionnel en transposant le champ de cet écoulement sur un plan mathématique dont les coordonnées sont les composantes du débit spécifique ou du gradient hydraulique.

Record 2 1990-02-08

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.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
  • Diagrammes et graphiques (Statistique)
  • Mécanique des fluides et hydraulique (Physique)
DEF

Courbe décrite par l'extrémité P d'un vecteur dont l'origine est fixe et qui reste équipollent à la vitesse d'un point sur sa trajectoire.
