  2. Wake (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    Visualisation of the Kármán vortex street in the wake behind a circular cylinder in air; the flow is made visible through release of oil vapour in the air near the cylinder. The wake is the region of disturbed flow (often turbulent) downstream of a solid body moving through a fluid, caused by the flow of the fluid around the body.

  3. Kármán vortex street - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kármán_vortex_street

    For the wake of a circular cylinder, for which the reference length is conventionally the diameter d of the circular cylinder, the lower limit of this range is Re ≈ 47. [9] [10] Eddies are shed continuously from each side of the circle boundary, forming rows of vortices in its wake. The alternation leads to the core of a vortex in one row ...

  4. List of common display resolutions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_display...

    The difference is that whilst D1 has a 4:3 aspect ratio 960H has a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. The extra pixels are used to form the increased area to the sides of the D1 image. The pixel density of 960H is identical to standard D1 resolution so it does not give any improvement in image quality, merely a wider aspect ratio.

  5. Display aspect ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_aspect_ratio

    The display aspect ratio (DAR) is the aspect ratio of a display device and so the proportional relationship between the physical width and the height of the display. It is expressed as two numbers separated by a colon ( x : y ), where x corresponds to the width and y to the height.

  6. Anamorphic widescreen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anamorphic_widescreen

    Original, Anamorphic and letterbox. Anamorphic widescreen (also called full-height anamorphic or FHA) is a process by which a widescreen image is horizontally compressed to fit into a storage medium (photographic film or MPEG-2 standard-definition frame, for example) with a narrower aspect ratio, reducing the horizontal resolution of the image while keeping its full original vertical resolution.

  7. Wake turbulence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_turbulence

    Wake turbulence is a disturbance in the atmosphere that forms behind an aircraft as it passes through the air. It includes several components, the most significant of which are wingtip vortices and jet-wash, the rapidly moving gases expelled from a jet engine.

  8. Fullscreen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fullscreen

    Fullscreen (aspect ratio), an aspect ratio of 4:3 (as opposed to widescreen (>1.37:1)) Full screen, in computing, a display which covers the full screen without the operating system's typical window-framing interface; Fullscreen (company), an American entertainment company and multi-channel network

  9. Constant false alarm rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_false_alarm_rate

    The term video refers to the resulting signal being appropriate for display on a cathode ray tube, or "video screen". The role of the constant false alarm rate circuitry is to determine the power threshold above which any return can be considered to probably originate from a target as opposed to one of the spurious sources.
