[1] A flow will often have different Péclet numbers for heat and mass. This can lead to the phenomenon of double diffusive convection. In the context of particulate motion the Péclet number has also been called Brenner number, with symbol Br, in honour of Howard Brenner. [2]
Negative correlation can be seen geometrically when two normalized random vectors are viewed as points on a sphere, and the correlation between them is the cosine of the circular arc of separation of the points on a great circle of the sphere. [1] When this arc is more than a quarter-circle (θ > π/2), then the cosine is negative.
An exception are the spin representation of SO(3): strictly speaking these are representations of the double cover SU(2) of SO(3). In turn, SU(2) is identified with the group of unit quaternions, and so coincides with the 3-sphere. The spaces of spherical harmonics on the 3-sphere are certain spin representations of SO(3), with respect to the ...
Terms such as correlation diagram(s), diagram(s) of correlation, and the like may refer to: Data visualization, the general process of presenting information visually; Statistical graphics, images depicting statistical information; In chemistry, there are several types of correlation diagrams:
In mathematics, in the topology of 3-manifolds, the sphere theorem of Christos Papakyriakopoulos gives conditions for elements of the second homotopy group of a 3-manifold to be represented by embedded spheres.
The standard translational model of Brownian motion. Much like translational diffusion in which particles in one area of high concentration slowly spread position through random walks until they are near-equally distributed over the entire space, in rotational diffusion, over long periods of time the directions which these particles face will spread until they follow a completely random ...
Sphere packing finds practical application in the stacking of cannonballs. In geometry, a sphere packing is an arrangement of non-overlapping spheres within a containing space. The spheres considered are usually all of identical size, and the space is usually three-dimensional Euclidean space.
A correlation coefficient is a numerical measure of some type of linear correlation, meaning a statistical relationship between two variables. [ a ] The variables may be two columns of a given data set of observations, often called a sample , or two components of a multivariate random variable with a known distribution .
