- Hydraulic intensifier, a hydraulic machine for transforming hydraulic power at low pressure into a reduced volume at higher pressure
- Hydraulic jump, a phenomenon frequently observed in rivers and spillways, when liquid at high velocity discharges into a zone of lower velocity, and a rather abrupt rise occurs in the liquid surface
- Hydraulic mining, a form of mining that uses high-pressure jets of water to dislodge rock material or move sediment

- Electro-hydraulic systems, used for power steering
- Hydraulic accumulator, a pressure storage reservoir in which a non-compressible hydraulic fluid is held under pressure by an external source
