Au sein d’un liquide agité mécaniquement, les gradients de vitesse dépendent de la géométrie de l'agitateur utilisé, et la complexité des écoulements rend difficile la définition d’un cisaillement. C'est pourquoi nous parlerons ici d’action de cisaillement. Par exemple, une turbine qui refoule un jet liquide hors de sa pale dans la masse agitée crée des efforts de cisaillement importants, d’une part parce que la largeur du jet est réduite et d’autre part parce que le reste du liquide se caractérise par des vitesses peu importantes. 1, record 14, French, - action%20de%20cisaillement

The turbine shaft runs at high surface speed; consequently its bearings must be continuously supplied with oil. At least two oil pumps, a main pump and a standby driven by a separate power source, are usually provided on all but the smallest machines. 1, record 15, English, - main%20pump
