  2. Chézy formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chézy_formula

    The Chézy formula describes mean flow velocity in turbulent open channel flow and is used broadly in fields related to fluid mechanics and fluid dynamics. Open channels refer to any open conduit, such as rivers, ditches, canals, or partially full pipes. The Chézy formula is defined for uniform equilibrium and non-uniform, gradually varied flows.

  3. Antoine de Chézy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_de_Chézy

    He is known for developing a similarity parameter for predicting the flow characteristics of one channel based on the measurements of another, known today as the Chézy formula. [1] The Chézy equation is a pioneering formula in the field of fluid mechanics, and was expanded and modified by Irish engineer Robert Manning in 1889 [ 1 ] as the ...

  4. Open-channel flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-channel_flow

    The depth changes abruptly over a comparatively short distance. Rapidly varied flow is known as a local phenomenon. Examples are the hydraulic jump and the hydraulic drop. Gradually-varied flow. The depth changes over a long distance. Continuous flow. The discharge is constant throughout the reach of the channel under consideration. This is ...

    Also confidence coefficient. A number indicating the probability that the confidence interval (range) captures the true population mean. For example, a confidence interval with a 95% confidence level has a 95% chance of capturing the population mean. Technically, this means that, if the experiment were repeated many times, 95% of the CIs computed at this level would contain the true population ...

  7. Coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient

    For example, if y is considered a parameter in the above expression, then the coefficient of x would be −3y, and the constant coefficient (with respect to x) would be 1.5 + y. When one writes a x 2 + b x + c , {\displaystyle ax^{2}+bx+c,} it is generally assumed that x is the only variable, and that a , b and c are parameters; thus the ...

  8. Statistical proof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_proof

    Bayesian statistics are based on a different philosophical approach for proof of inference.The mathematical formula for Bayes's theorem is: [|] = [|] [] []The formula is read as the probability of the parameter (or hypothesis =h, as used in the notation on axioms) “given” the data (or empirical observation), where the horizontal bar refers to "given".

  9. Formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula

    Mathematical formulas are often algebraic, analytical or in closed form. [5] In a general context, formulas often represent mathematical models of real world phenomena, and as such can be used to provide solutions (or approximate solutions) to real world problems, with some being more general than others. For example, the formula
