  2. Eddy current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current

    In electromagnetism, an eddy current (also called Foucault's current) is a loop of electric current induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field in the conductor according to Faraday's law of induction or by the relative motion of a conductor in a magnetic field. Eddy currents flow in closed loops within conductors, in planes ...

  3. Eddy (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_(fluid_dynamics)

    In fluid dynamics, an eddy is the swirling of a fluid and the reverse current created when the fluid is in a turbulent flow regime. [2] The moving fluid creates a space devoid of downstream-flowing fluid on the downstream side of the object.

  4. Arago's rotations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arago's_rotations

    The direction of the circulation of eddy-currents is always such as to tend to oppose the relative motion. The eddy-current in the part receding from the poles tends to attract the poles forward or to drag this part of the disk backwards. The eddy-current in the part advancing toward the poles tends to repel those poles and to be repelled by them.

  5. Electrodynamic suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodynamic_suspension

    Jumping rings lift when an AC current energises a coil and the electrodynamic forces pushes the rings upwards against gravity. Electrodynamic suspension (EDS) is a form of magnetic levitation in which there are conductors which are exposed to time-varying magnetic fields.

  6. Cold shock response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_shock_response

    The cold water can cause heart attack due to severe vasoconstriction, [2] where the heart has to work harder to pump the same volume of blood throughout the arteries. For people with pre-existing cardiovascular disease , the additional workload can result in myocardial infarction and/or acute heart failure , which ultimately may lead to a ...

  7. Hemodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodynamics

    The heart is the driver of the circulatory system, pumping blood through rhythmic contraction and relaxation. The rate of blood flow out of the heart (often expressed in L/min) is known as the cardiac output (CO). Blood being pumped out of the heart first enters the aorta, the largest artery of the body.

  8. Lorentz force velocimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_force_velocimetry

    In principle, LET represents a modification of the traditional eddy current testing from which it differs in two aspects, namely (i) how eddy currents are induced and (ii) how their perturbation is detected. In LET eddy currents are generated by providing the relative motion between the conductor under test and a permanent magnet (see figure 10).

  9. Eddy-current testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy-current_testing

    In the traditional version of eddy current testing an alternating (AC) magnetic field is used to induce eddy currents inside the material to be investigated. If the material contains a crack or flaw which make the spatial distribution of the electrical conductivity nonuniform, the path of the eddy currents is perturbed and the impedance of the ...
