Two triangles, and the work is the difference between them

The velocity triangles at inlet and outlet of a rotor at constant blade speed and constant axial velocity. The horizontal arrow is the blade speed; the arrow from the origin is the absolute velocity of the fluid; the arrow closing the triangle is what the blade sees. Euler's equation says the work is the blade speed times the change in the swirl component alone — the horizontal distance between the two upper corners, times U — and nothing else in the picture appears in it.

5 essays call velocity-triangle. The drawing above is what it returns with no arguments at all; every call below passes it something, because a placement that passes nothing draws whichever member of the family the generator happens to default to rather than the one its essay argues about.

It is also the blast radius. Changing velocity-triangle changes every figure listed here at once, and on this site it may change what they assert as well as what they show — which is what has to be rebuilt and looked at before the change is believed.
