Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. [1] Archimedes' principle is a law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics .
There are several components to such a simulation system: a polygon mesh defining the body shape of the model; a coarse volumetric mesh using finite element methods to ensure complete integration over the model; line constraints corresponding to internal skeleton and instrumented to the model; linearizing of equations of motion to achieve ...
In physics and continuum mechanics, deformation is the change in the shape or size of an object. It has dimension of length with SI unit of metre (m). It is quantified as the residual displacement of particles in a non-rigid body, from an initial configuration to a final configuration, excluding the body's average translation and rotation (its rigid transformation). [1]
In the physical science of dynamics, rigid-body dynamics studies the movement of systems of interconnected bodies under the action of external forces.The assumption that the bodies are rigid (i.e. they do not deform under the action of applied forces) simplifies analysis, by reducing the parameters that describe the configuration of the system to the translation and rotation of reference ...
The Sears–Haack body is the shape with the lowest theoretical wave drag in supersonic flow, for a slender solid body of revolution with a given body length and volume. The mathematical derivation assumes small-disturbance (linearized) supersonic flow, which is governed by the Prandtl–Glauert equation .
The algebraic curve defined by {(,): =} in the (,) coordinate system has a singularity (called a cusp) at (,). For singularities in algebraic geometry , see singular point of an algebraic variety . For singularities in differential geometry , see singularity theory .
Chilling footage has captured the last known movements of a 24-year-old woman before her body was found at the bottom of a trash chute in a luxury apartment building in Manhattan.
The Kutta–Joukowski theorem is a fundamental theorem in aerodynamics used for the calculation of lift of an airfoil (and any two-dimensional body including circular cylinders) translating in a uniform fluid at a constant speed so large that the flow seen in the body-fixed frame is steady and unseparated.
