poiseuille

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.02 sec.
poiseuille [pwä′zə·ē]
(fluid mechanics)
A unit of dynamic viscosity of a fluid in which there is a tangential force of 1 newton per square meter resisting the flow of two parallel layers past each other when their differential velocity is 1 meter per second per meter of separation; equal to 10 poise; used chiefly in France. Abbreviated Pl.

During three subsequent postdoctoral years in Mark's Institute, Simha validated Einstein's equation for parabolic Poiseuille flow and made "excursions" (with Fritz Eirich) into kinetic theory, as well as viscosity, surface tension and heats of vaporization of chain molecular fluids.
The types of flow are classified as either isentropic flow of compressible ideal gas, laminar viscous flow, or mixed plane Couette and Poiseuille flow.
The Poiseuille law of the incompressible viscous flow is usually considered and the hydraulic resistance of a single conducting element (both tracheids and vessels) is calculated as [Z.
