3. Velocity of pressure waves in deformable pipes

3.1 Analysis of flow equation terms

The propagation speed of a pressure wave in a liquid contained inside a deformable pipe is lower than the celerity of sound. This difference is due to the pressure variation caused by the passage of the wave, which alters the cross-section of the pipe. In the case of gases, this influence is negligible.

To determine the propagation velocity of a pressure wave in a deformable pipe, the terms in AtetVρAs...

Et si l'espace-temps était un superfluide ?

Deux physiciens pourraient bien concilier la théorie de la Relativité Générale et celle de la mécanique quantique avec leur théorie selon laquelle l'espace-temp...
