| 31. | But I thought the Coriolis force is always perpendicular to the velocity, not just to the radius.
|
| 32. | With a fluid mass, the Coriolis force is proportional to the mass flow rate of that fluid.
|
| 33. | Oscillation produces the Coriolis force, which traditionally is sensed and analyzed to determine the rate of flow.
|
| 34. | But the Coriolis force is elementary stuff.
|
| 35. | When Newton's laws are transformed to a rotating frame of reference, the Coriolis force and centrifugal force appear.
|
| 36. | The Coriolis force is proportional to the rotation rate and the centrifugal force is proportional to its square.
|
| 37. | Of course, the Coriolis force does still impact the direction of the flow of water, but only minutely.
|
| 38. | The force of spin, called the Coriolis force, is greatest at the poles and zero at the Equator.
|
| 39. | The Coriolis force doesn't exist there.
|
| 40. | Flow is measured using Coriolis meters by analyzing the changes in the Coriolis force of a flowing substance.
