Relative density
A pycnometer (from Greek: πυκνός (puknos) meaning "dense"), also called pyknometer or specific gravity bottle, is a device used to determine the density of a liquid. A pycnometer is usually made of glass, with a close-fitting ground glass stopper with a capillary tube through it, so that air bubbles may escape from the apparatus. This device enables a liquid's density to be measured accurately by reference to an appropriate working fluid, such as water or mercury, using an analytical balance.

where "u" is the velocity in the "x"-direction, "v" is the velocity in the "y"-direction, "w" is the velocity in the "z"-direction, "t" is time, "p" is the pressure, ρ is the density of water, ν is the kinematic viscosity, and "f" is the body force in the "x"-direction.
