👉 In physics and engineering, a siphoniform is a type of closed pipe or tube that is characterized by its shape. The term "siphoniform" comes from the Latin word "siphon," which means "pipe." A siphoniform is an idealized model of a closed tube with a circular cross-section. In a siphon, the flow is primarily through the center of curvature of the tube's cross-sectional shape. The flow velocity is typically greater than that
