  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. Zener cards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zener_cards

    Hubert Pearce with Joseph Banks Rhine.. The Zener cards are a deck of 25 cards, five of each symbol. The five symbols are a hollow circle, a plus sign, three vertical wavy lines, a hollow square, and a hollow five-pointed star.

  4. Shock wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_wave

    Since no fluid flow is discontinuous, a control volume is established around the shock wave, with the control surfaces that bound this volume parallel to the shock wave (with one surface on the pre-shock side of the fluid medium and one on the post-shock side). The two surfaces are separated by a very small depth such that the shock itself is ...

  5. Entoptic phenomenon - Wikipedia

    They are shadow images of objects floating in liquid between the retina and the gel inside the eye known as the vitreous humor. They are visible because they move; were they pinned to the retina by the vitreous or fixed in position within the vitreous itself they would be as invisible as other objects fixed in position within the eye, such as ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Rope trick effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_trick_effect

    After a brief period, this shock front reaches and then passes the initial radiative fireball. The shock wave contains so much energy that the compression heating created in the air causes it to glow. At the point in the explosion captured in the adjacent photo, the shock front has passed the original radiative fireball and has about twice its ...

  8. Ultraviolet photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_photography

    Ultraviolet photography is a photographic process of recording images by using radiation from the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum only. Images taken with ultraviolet radiation serve a number of scientific, medical or artistic purposes. Images may reveal deterioration of art works or structures not apparent under light. Diagnostic medical images may ...

  9. Shock-capturing method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock-capturing_method

    In computational fluid dynamics, shock-capturing methods are a class of techniques for computing inviscid flows with shock waves.The computation of flow containing shock waves is an extremely difficult task because such flows result in sharp, discontinuous changes in flow variables such as pressure, temperature, density, and velocity across the shock.
