superthermal electron, ion, or particle
Materials science; Material physics
Many plasmas may be viewed as consisting of one or more bulk fluids in approximate thermal equilibrium plus various non-thermal components, such as resonantly accelerated ...
thermal electron, ion, or particle
Materials science; Material physics
Many plasmas may be viewed as consisting of one or more bulk fluids in approximate thermal equilibrium plus various non-thermal components. It is then often convenient to treat ...
index matching
Materials science; Material physics
Matching the refractive index of the crystal and its surrounding medium in nonlinear optics to minimize Fresnel losses.
induced drag
Materials science; Material physics
The increase in drag due to the finite length of the wing. The finite wing and the tip and starting vertices constitute a large vortex ring inside which there is a downward ...
delta function
Materials science; Material physics
A pseudo-mathematical function which provides a technique for summing of an infinite series or integrating over infinite spatial dimensions. The delta function, \delta is ...
horseshoe vortex
Materials science; Material physics
When a boundary layer encounters a surface-mounted obstacle, the adverse-pressure gradient causes a separation in which the near-wall vorticity of the boundary layer is ...
energy loss
Materials science; Material physics
When a charged particle traverses material, it ionizes this material by the collision and knock-out of atomic electrons. These collisions absorb energy from the traversing ...
