In hydrodynamics and hydrostatics, the pressure gradient (typically of air but more generally of any fluid) is a physical quantity that describes in which...

mechanics, the pressure-gradient force is the force that results when there is a difference in pressure across a surface. In general, a pressure is a force...

Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure of circulating blood against the walls of blood vessels. Most of this pressure results from the heart pumping blood...

In fluid dynamics, an adverse pressure gradient is a pressure gradient in which the static pressure increases in the direction of the flow. Mathematically...

effect. The pressure-gradient force is the force that results when there is a difference in pressure across a surface. In general, a pressure is a force...

Depending on the definition of the term, there may also be an applied pressure gradient in the flow direction. The Couette configuration models certain practical...

pressure is defined as the external pressure required to be applied so that there is no net movement of solvent across the membrane. Osmotic pressure...

pipes with an oscillating pressure gradient finds applications in blood flow through large arteries. The imposed pressure gradient is given by ∂ p ∂ x = −...

of gas molecules. A gradient in field strength causes a force due to the magnetic pressure gradient called the magnetic pressure force. In SI units, the...

measurement of the pressure gradient between the WHVP and the free hepatic venous pressures (FHVP), and thus is an estimate of the pressure gradient between the...
