Whois & Analysis for ingersollrandproducts.com

Ingersoll-Rand plc is a global diversified industrial company formed in 1905 by the merger of Ingersoll-Sergeant Drill Company and Rand Drill Company, rival companies that had each been founded in 1871.

The company is incorporated in Dublin, Ireland, but has its headquarters in Davidson, North Carolina.

Ingersoll-Rand has been a constituent of the S&P 500 Index since 2010, replacing Pactiv Corporation on 16 November 2010 (it had previously been in the S&P 500 Index until it was replaced by Quanta Services in June 2009).

A pump is a device that moves fluids (liquids or gases), or sometimes slurries, by mechanical action.

Pumps can be classified into three major groups according to the method they use to move the fluid: direct lift, displacement, and gravity pumps.

A gas compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume.

An air compressor is a specific type of gas compressor.

The Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is the U.S. Army's corporate research laboratory.

ARL is headquartered at the Adelphi Laboratory Center (ALC) in Adelphi, Maryland.

Its largest single site is at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.

Other major ARL locations include Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, Orlando, Florida, and NASA's Glenn Research Center, Ohio and Langley Research Center, Virginia.

Fluid mechanics is a branch of physics concerned with the mechanics of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them.

Fluid mechanics has a wide range of applications, including for mechanical engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, geophysics, astrophysics, and biology.

Fluid mechanics can be divided into fluid statics, the study of fluids at rest; and fluid dynamics, the study of the effect of forces on fluid motion.

It is a branch of continuum mechanics, a subject which models matter without using the information that it is made out of atoms; that is, it models matter from a macroscopic viewpoint rather than from microscopic.

Fluid mechanics, especially fluid dynamics, is an active field of research with many problems that are partly or wholly unsolved.

Fluid mechanics can be mathematically complex, and can best be solved by numerical methods, typically using computers.

A modern discipline, called computational fluid dynamics (CFD), is devoted to this approach to solving fluid mechanics problems.

Particle image velocimetry, an experimental method for visualizing and analyzing fluid flow, also takes advantage of the highly visual nature of fluid flow.
