Reynolds averaging
Materials science; Material physics
Using the Reynolds decomposition and the momentum equation, a time-averaged version of the Navier-Stokes equation is produced suitable for CFD.
metric tensor
Materials science; Material physics
Vector products of the gradients of curvalinear coordinates that characterize the local coordinate geometry.
fundamental vectors
Materials science; Material physics
Vectors that can define the atomic arrangement in an entire lattice by translation.
stochastic cooling
Materials science; Material physics
Very important in building proton-antiproton storage rings. Specifically, antiprotons are produced in the collision of protons and ordinary matter, but these antiprotons have wide ...
Louis de Broglie
Materials science; Material physics
Victor Nobel Prize winner in 1929 for proposing that matter, as well as light, has both wave and particle properties.
tip vortex
Materials science; Material physics
Vortex created at the tip of a wing due to the difference in pressure between the upper and lower surfaces of the wing.
negative energy wave
Materials science; Material physics
Wave for which the derivative of the dielectric function with respect to frequency is negative. This typically occurs in an inhomogeneous plasma with non- Maxwellian particle ...
