    Estimates from an IAU question-and-answer press release from 2006, giving 800 km radius and 0.5 × 10 21 kg mass as cut-offs that normally would be enough for hydrostatic equilibrium, while stating that observation would be needed to determine the status of borderline cases. [50]

  3. Number density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_density

    Using the number density as a function of spatial coordinates, the total number of objects N in the entire volume V can be calculated as = (,,), where dV = dx dy dz is a volume element. If each object possesses the same mass m 0 , the total mass m of all the objects in the volume V can be expressed as m = ∭ V m 0 n ( x , y , z ) d V ...

  4. Geometrically necessary dislocations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrically_necessary...

    Because is in addition to the density of statistically stored dislocations , the increase in dislocation density due to accommodated polycrystals leads to a grain size effect during strain hardening; that is, polycrystals of finer grain size will tend to work-harden more rapidly. [2]

  5. Specific modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_modulus

    Approximate specific stiffness for various materials. No attempt is made to correct for materials whose stiffness varies with their density. Material Young's modulus Density (g/cm 3) Young's modulus per density; specific stiffness (10 6 m 2 s −2) Young's modulus per density squared (10 3 m 5 kg −1 s −2) Young's modulus per density cubed ...

  6. Dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_numbers_in...

    Dimensionless numbers (or characteristic numbers) have an important role in analyzing the behavior of fluids and their flow as well as in other transport phenomena. [1] They include the Reynolds and the Mach numbers, which describe as ratios the relative magnitude of fluid and physical system characteristics, such as density, viscosity, speed of sound, and flow speed.

  7. Distribution function (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_function...

    Distribution functions may also feature non-isotropic temperatures, in which each term in the exponent is divided by a different temperature. Plasma theories such as magnetohydrodynamics may assume the particles to be in thermodynamic equilibrium. In this case, the distribution function is Maxwellian. This distribution function allows fluid ...

  8. Radial distribution function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_distribution_function

    calculation of () Radial distribution function for the Lennard-Jones model fluid at =, =.. In statistical mechanics, the radial distribution function, (or pair correlation function) () in a system of particles (atoms, molecules, colloids, etc.), describes how density varies as a function of distance from a reference particle.

  9. Plummer model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plummer_model

    The Plummer 3-dimensional density profile is given by = (+) /, where is the total mass of the cluster, and a is the Plummer radius, a scale parameter that sets the size of the cluster core. The corresponding potential is Φ P ( r ) = − G M 0 r 2 + a 2 , {\displaystyle \Phi _{P}(r)=-{\frac {GM_{0}}{\sqrt {r^{2}+a^{2}}}},} where G is Newton 's ...
