auswärtsströmung

Auswärtsströmung refers to a flow pattern where fluid moves away from a central point or region. This is a broad term encompassing various phenomena in physics and engineering. In meteorology, it describes the outward movement of air from a high-pressure system, often associated with clear skies and stable weather. The Coriolis effect causes these outward flows to deflect, resulting in clockwise rotation in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise rotation in the Southern Hemisphere, forming anticyclones.

In fluid dynamics, an auswärtsströmung can occur in a pipe or nozzle where the cross-sectional area increases, causing the fluid to expand and its velocity to decrease, provided the flow is incompressible. Conversely, in a converging duct, the fluid speeds up as it moves towards a narrower section. A common example is the flow from a faucet, where the water stream narrows as it falls due to gravity and acceleration.

In other contexts, such as in biology, the term might be used to describe the movement of substances out of a cell or tissue. In engineering, understanding and controlling auswärtsströmung is crucial in designing systems like pumps, turbines, and aerodynamic surfaces to ensure efficient operation and prevent unwanted effects such as flow separation. The specific characteristics of an auswärtsströmung are determined by factors like pressure gradients, boundary conditions, and fluid properties.
