pressure gradient Definition

pressure gradient

noun

the rate of decrease in barometric pressure in a given region at a particular time

pressure gradient Usage Examples

Converse of object

  • create: Others factors create pressure gradients that cause water to try to flow from high pressure to low pressure.

Preposition: in

  • pipe: As heat is directed into the device, the fluid is vaporized creating a pressure gradient in the pipe.

Adjective modifier

  • local: K + ) created local osmotic pressure gradients which could only be abolished by conversion of LDW to high density water ( HDW ).
  • steep: Weather in strong or steep pressure gradients is normally subject to sudden changes with varying wind force and direction.
  • slack: Pressure was 1008 mb still within a slack pressure gradient keeping winds light through the day.
  • negative: Any density gradients result in net negative pressure gradients which act on positive matter to produce negative buoyancy forces.
  • net: Any density gradients result in net negative pressure gradients which act on positive matter to produce negative buoyancy forces.

Noun used with modifier

  • pore: The rates of pore fluid flow are related to the pore pressure gradient through Darcy's Law.
