  2. Critical embankment velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_embankment_velocity

    The critical velocity of sound just changes in a small range, although the air quality and the interaction between the jet flight and atmosphere affect the critical velocity. But the embankment including the filling layers and ground soil underneath surface is a typically random medium. [ 5 ]

  3. Supercritical flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_flow

    A supercritical flow is a flow whose velocity is larger than the wave velocity. [clarification needed] The analogous condition in gas dynamics is supersonic speed.According to the website Civil Engineering Terms, supercritical flow is defined as follows: The flow at which depth of the channel is less than critical depth, velocity of flow is greater than critical velocity and slope of the ...

  4. Critical speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_speed

    Many practical applications suggest as good practice that the maximum operating speed should not exceed 75% of the critical speed [citation needed]; however, some systems operate above the first critical speed, or supercritically. In such cases, it is important to accelerate the shaft through the first natural frequency quickly so that large ...

  5. Supercritical airfoil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_airfoil

    Supercritical airfoils feature four main benefits: they have a higher drag-divergence Mach number, [21] they develop shock waves farther aft than traditional airfoils, [22] they greatly reduce shock-induced boundary layer separation, and their geometry allows more efficient wing design (e.g., a thicker wing and/or reduced wing sweep, each of which may allow a lighter wing).

  6. V speeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_speeds

    Denotes "critical engine failure" speed as the speed during takeoff where the same distance would be required to either continue the takeoff or abort to a stop. [19] V D: Design diving speed, the highest speed planned to be achieved in testing. [7] [8] [9] V DF: Demonstrated flight diving speed, the highest actual speed achieved in testing. [7 ...

  7. Ridge Racer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridge_Racer

    Critical Velocity (2005) is a plot-based spin-off game released in Japan for the PlayStation 2. Known in development as Rune Chaser , it features Ridge Racer vehicles and settings in a more adventure-like game with a storyline.

  8. Quantum turbulence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_turbulence

    The critical velocity for the appearance of a vortex lattice is then = ⁡ (). Exceeding this velocity allows for a vortex to form in the fluid. States with more vortices can be formed by increasing the rotation further, past the next critical velocities Ω c 2 , Ω c 3 , ⋯ {\displaystyle \Omega _{c}^{2},\,\Omega _{c}^{3},\cdots } .

  9. Dunkerley's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkerley's_Method

    Dunkerley's method [1] [2] is used in mechanical engineering to determine the critical speed of a shaft-rotor system. Other methods include the Rayleigh–Ritz method . Whirling of a shaft
