unusual facts about hydrostatic



Isostasy

The basis of the model is the Pascal's law, and particularly its consequence that, within a fluid in static equilibrium, the hydrostatic pressure is the same on every point at the same elevation (surface of hydrostatic compensation).

Jackson Burns

Burns has worked in many fields including lumberjack, pipeliner, heavy equipment operator, hydrostatic tester, private investigator, Olan Mills portrait photographer, karate instructor, motorcycle racer, door installer, salesman and amusement park supervisor until he broke into the movie stunt business.

Loll

Angle of loll, a specific hydrostatic stability condition experienced by unstable vessels at sea

Loricariidae

Loricariid catfishes have evolved several modifications of their digestive tracts that function as accessory respiratory organs or hydrostatic organs.

Static stability

Static stability (also called hydrostatic stability or vertical stability) — the ability of a fluid at rest to become turbulent or laminar due to the effects of buoyancy.

Thermowell

Thermowells are typically installed in piping systems and subject to both hydrostatic and aerodynamic forces.
