  2. Viscosity models for mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_models_for_mixtures

    The collision cross section per volume or collision cross section density is , and it is related to the mean free path by l = 1 2 C σ {\displaystyle l={\frac {1}{{\sqrt {2}}C\sigma }}} Combining the kinetic equations for molecular motion with the defining equation of shear viscosity gives the well known equation for shear viscosity for dilute ...

  3. Momentum-transfer cross section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Momentum-transfer_cross_section

    In physics, and especially scattering theory, the momentum-transfer cross section (sometimes known as the momentum-transport cross section [1]) is an effective scattering cross section useful for describing the average momentum transferred from a particle when it collides with a target. Essentially, it contains all the information about a ...

  4. Structural similarity index measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_similarity...

    The r* cross-correlation metric is based on the variance metrics of SSIM. It's defined as r*(x, y) = ⁠ σ xy / σ x σ y ⁠ when σ x σ y ≠ 0, 1 when both standard deviations are zero, and 0 when only one is zero. It has found use in analyzing human response to contrast-detail phantoms. [18] SSIM has also been used on the gradient of ...

  5. Favre averaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favre_averaging

    Favre averaging is the density-weighted averaging method, used in variable density or compressible turbulent flows, in place of the Reynolds averaging.The method was introduced formally by the French physicist Alexandre Favre in 1965, [1] [2] although Osborne Reynolds had also already introduced the density-weighted averaging in 1895. [3]

  6. Cross section (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_section_(physics)

    In general, the scattering cross section is different from the geometrical cross section of a particle, as it depends upon the wavelength of light and the permittivity in addition to the shape and size of the particle. The total amount of scattering in a sparse medium is determined by the product of the scattering cross section and the number ...

  7. Drag equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_equation

    Sometimes different reference areas are given for the same object in which case a drag coefficient corresponding to each of these different areas must be given. For sharp-cornered bluff bodies , like square cylinders and plates held transverse to the flow direction, this equation is applicable with the drag coefficient as a constant value when ...

  8. Turbulence kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbulence_kinetic_energy

    The TKE can be defined to be half the sum of the variances σ² (square of standard deviations σ) of the fluctuating velocity components: = (+ +) = ((′) ¯ + (′) ¯ + (′) ¯), where each turbulent velocity component is the difference between the instantaneous and the average velocity: ′ = ¯ (Reynolds decomposition).

  9. Rule of mixtures - Wikipedia

    where is the volume fraction of the fibers in the composite (and is the volume fraction of the matrix).. If it is assumed that the composite material behaves as a linear-elastic material, i.e., abiding Hooke's law = for some elastic modulus of the composite and some strain of the composite , then equations 1 and 2 can be combined to give
