hydrostatic balance

The balance of these two forces is known as the hydrostatic balance.

"She seems to be maintaining hydrostatic balance," said Ramsey.

Another of his inventions used to quantify an unknown is the hydrostatic balance.

They hypothesize that this can be explained with an atmosphere in hydrostatic balance.

A hydrostatic balance is a particular balance for weighing substances in water.

He invented the thermometer and a device called a hydrostatic balance for determining specific gravity.

Hydrostatic balance allows the discovery of their specific gravities.

Slowly, as the Ram circled over the seamount, the slug came to hydrostatic balance.

Assuming an atmosphere that is in hydrostatic balance, the average column virtual temperature contributes the most to the surface pressure.

This force balance is called the hydrostatic balance.

Thus, hydrostatic balance can be regarded as a particularly simple equilibrium solution of the Navier-Stokes equations.

The fungus desiccates the wings of the animal upsetting its hydrostatic balance during hibernation.

Galileo, then a promising, but unemployed 26-years old, had written an essay on hydrostatic balance, which struck Guidobaldo as being nothing short of genius.

It is a study of the hydrostatic balance and the ideas behind statics and hydrostatics, it also covers other unrelated topics.

Generally, a kill mud (KWM) mix, which provides just hydrostatic balance for formation pressure, is circulated.

Natural fractures can have very high permeability, and as a result, any differences in hydrostatic balance down the well can result in well control issues.

Galileo soon became known through his invention of a hydrostatic balance and his treatise on the center of gravity of solid bodies.

Around the year 1586 Galileo Galilei invented a hydrostatic balance for weighing metals in air and water after apparently being inspired by the work of Archimedes.

According to an advertisement, Hauksbee made and sold air-pumps, hydrostatic balances, and reflecting telescopes in Crane Court, Fleet Street, London.

It stretched out on the bottom behind the Ram, turgid with its cargo, now almost a mile long, held in delicate hydrostatic balance so that it would tow beneath the surface.

Additional mechanical barriers such as blowout preventers (BOPs) can be closed to isolate the well while the hydrostatic balance is regained through circulation of fluids in the well.

Mazzoleni also helped Galileo produce other instruments, including hydrostatic balances, air thermometers, magnets and magnetic compasses for ships, and various kinds of drawing compasses for engineers and architects.

In continuum mechanics, a fluid is said to be in hydrostatic equilibrium or hydrostatic balance when it is at rest, or when the flow velocity at each point is constant over time.

He created a thermoscope (forerunner of the thermometer) and in 1586 published a small book on the design of a hydrostatic balance he had invented (which first brought him to the attention of the scholarly world).

The Latin poem Carmen de ponderibus et mensuris of the 4th or 5th century describes the use of a hydrostatic balance to solve the problem of the crown, and attributes the method to Archimedes.
