  2. Atmospheric focusing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_focusing

    The shock wave is impacted by what the meteor is made of, temperature, and pressure. [1] Because the meteors need to have a large size and mass, there is only a small percentage of meteors that can create these shock waves. [2] Radar and Infrasonic methodologies are able to detect meteor shock waves. These tools are used to study these shock ...

  3. Schlieren photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlieren_photography

    Shock waves produced by a T-38 Talon during flight using analog background-oriented schlieren. Background-oriented schlieren technique (BOS [7]) relies on measuring or visualizing shifts in focused images. In these techniques, the background and the schlieren object (the distortion to be visualized) are both in focus and the distortion is ...

  4. Shock wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_wave

    In fact, correct capturing and detection of shock waves are important since shock waves have the following influences: (1) causing loss of total pressure, which may be a concern related to scramjet engine performance, (2) providing lift for wave-rider configuration, as the oblique shock wave at lower surface of the vehicle can produce high ...

  5. Schlieren - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlieren

    Toepler's original system [2] was designed to detect schlieren in glass used to make lenses. In the conventional schlieren system, [3] a point source is used to illuminate the test section containing the schliere. An image of this light is formed using a converging lens (also called a schlieren lens).

  6. Entoptic phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entoptic_phenomenon

    They are shadow images of objects floating in liquid between the retina and the gel inside the eye (vitreous humor). They are visible because they move; if they were pinned to retina by the vitreous or fixed within the vitreous they would be as invisible as ordinary viewing of any stationary object, such as the retinal blood vessels (see ...

  7. Infrared search and track - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_search_and_track

    An IRST sensor on a Sukhoi Su-35. An Infrared Search and Track (IRST) system (sometimes known as infrared sighting and tracking) is a method for detecting and tracking objects which give off infrared radiation, such as the infrared signatures of jet aircraft and helicopters.

    U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday demanded that BRICS member countries commit to not creating a new currency or supporting another currency that would replace the United States dollar ...

  9. Kelvin wake pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_wake_pattern

    Consider a boat moving from right to left with constant speed v, emitting waves of varying wavelength, and thus wavenumber k and phase velocity c(k), of interest when < v for a shock wave (cf., e.g., Sonic boom or Cherenkov radiation). Equivalently, and more intuitively, fix the position of the boat and have the water flow in the opposite ...
