  2. Force-directed graph drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force-directed_graph_drawing

    Force-directed graph drawing algorithms assign forces among the set of edges and the set of nodes of a graph drawing.Typically, spring-like attractive forces based on Hooke's law are used to attract pairs of endpoints of the graph's edges towards each other, while simultaneously repulsive forces like those of electrically charged particles based on Coulomb's law are used to separate all pairs ...

  3. Stokes stream function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_stream_function

    Streamlines around a sphere in axisymmetric Stokes flow. At terminal velocity the drag force F d balances the force F g propelling the object. In fluid dynamics, the Stokes stream function is used to describe the streamlines and flow velocity in a three-dimensional incompressible flow with axisymmetry.

  4. Immersed boundary method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immersed_Boundary_Method

    The physics of the fiber is represented via a fiber force distribution function (,). Spring forces, bending resistance or any other type of behavior can be built into this term. The force exerted by the structure on the fluid is then interpolated as a source term in the momentum equation using

  5. Drag equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_equation

    If a moving fluid meets an object, it exerts a force on the object. Suppose that the fluid is a liquid, and the variables involved – under some conditions – are the: speed u, fluid density ρ, kinematic viscosity ν of the fluid, size of the body, expressed in terms of its wetted area A, and; drag force F d.

  6. Stokes' law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes'_law

    Creeping flow past a falling sphere in a fluid (e.g., a droplet of fog falling through the air): streamlines, drag force F d and force by gravity F g. At terminal (or settling) velocity, the excess force F e due to the difference between the weight and buoyancy of the sphere (both caused by gravity [7]) is given by:

  7. Spherical pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_pendulum

    The only forces acting on the mass are the reaction from the sphere and gravity. Owing to the spherical geometry of the problem, spherical coordinates are used to describe the position of the mass in terms of ( r , θ , ϕ ) {\displaystyle (r,\theta ,\phi )} , where r is fixed such that r = l {\displaystyle r=l} .

  8. Three-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem

    Within the point vortex model, the motion of vortices in a two-dimensional ideal fluid is described by equations of motion that contain only first-order time derivatives. I.e. in contrast to Newtonian mechanics, it is the velocity and not the acceleration that is determined by their relative positions.

  9. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.
