  2. Pulsatile flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsatile_flow

    The flow profiles was first derived by John R. Womersley (1907–1958) in his work with blood flow in arteries. [1] The cardiovascular system of chordate animals is a very good example where pulsatile flow is found, but pulsatile flow is also observed in engines and hydraulic systems, as a result of rotating mechanisms pumping the fluid.

  3. Oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillation

    Oscillation is the repetitive or periodic variation, typically in time, of some measure about a central value (often a point of equilibrium) or between two or more different states. Familiar examples of oscillation include a swinging pendulum and alternating current .

  4. Periodic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_function

    Periodic motion is motion in which the position(s) of the system are expressible as periodic functions, all with the same period. For a function on the real numbers or on the integers , that means that the entire graph can be formed from copies of one particular portion, repeated at regular intervals.

  5. Simple harmonic motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_harmonic_motion

    The motion of a body in which it moves to and from about a definite point is also called oscillatory motion or vibratory motion. The time period is able to be calculated by T = 2 π l g {\displaystyle T=2\pi {\sqrt {\frac {l}{g}}}} where l is the distance from rotation to center of mass of object undergoing SHM and g being gravitational ...

  6. Vortex-induced vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex-induced_vibration

    Numerical simulation of vortex-induced vibrations due to the flow around a circular cylinder. [1] In fluid dynamics, vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) are motions induced on bodies interacting with an external fluid flow, produced by, or the motion producing, periodic irregularities on this flow. A classic example is the VIV of an underwater ...

  7. Phase space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_space

    Phase spaces are easier to use when analyzing the behavior of mechanical systems restricted to motion around and along various axes of rotation or translation – e.g. in robotics, like analyzing the range of motion of a robotic arm or determining the optimal path to achieve a particular position/momentum result.

  8. Airy wave theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airy_wave_theory

    The table only gives the oscillatory parts of flow quantities – velocities, particle excursions and pressure – and not their mean value or drift. The oscillatory particle excursions ξ x and ξ z are the time integrals of the oscillatory flow velocities u x and u z respectively. Water depth is classified into three regimes: [8]

  9. Anharmonicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anharmonicity

    An oscillator is a physical system characterized by periodic motion, such as a pendulum, tuning fork, or vibrating diatomic molecule.Mathematically speaking, the essential feature of an oscillator is that for some coordinate x of the system, a force whose magnitude depends on x will push x away from extreme values and back toward some central value x 0, causing x to oscillate between extremes.
