Added mass fluid quasi-momentum. Unsteady forces due to a change of the relative velocity of a body submerged in a fluid can be divided into two parts: the virtual mass effect and the Basset force. The origin of the force is that the fluid will gain kinetic energy at the expense of the work done by an accelerating submerged body. It can be shown that the virtual mass force, for a spherical particle submerged in an inviscid, incompressible fluid is where bold symbols denote vectors, formula_2 is the fluid flow velocity, formula_3 is the spherical particle velocity, formula_4 is the mass density
Lean body mass various technologies such as Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Lean body mass Lean body mass (LBM) is a component of body composition, calculated by subtracting body fat weight from total body weight: total body weight is lean plus fat. In equations: The percentage of total body mass that is lean is usually not quoted – it would typically be 60–90%. Instead, the body fat percentage, which is the complement, is computed, and is typically 10–40%. The lean body mass (LBM) has been described as an index superior to total body weight for prescribing proper levels of medications and for assessing metabolic
