2. Scaling (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_(geometry)

   Each iteration of the Sierpinski triangle contains triangles related to the next iteration by a scale factor of 1/2. In affine geometry, uniform scaling (or isotropic scaling [1]) is a linear transformation that enlarges (increases) or shrinks (diminishes) objects by a scale factor that is the same in all directions (isotropically).

3. Scale (ratio) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(ratio)

   Examples include a 3-dimensional scale model of a building or the scale drawings of the elevations or plans of a building. [1] In such cases the scale is dimensionless and exact throughout the model or drawing. The scale can be expressed in four ways: in words (a lexical scale), as a ratio, as a fraction and as a graphical (bar) scale.

4. Square–cube law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square–cube_law

   Steam engine: James Watt, working as an instrument maker for the University of Glasgow, was given a scale model Newcomen steam engine to put in working order. Watt recognized the problem as being related to the square–cube law, in that the surface-to-volume ratio of the model's cylinder was greater than that of the much larger commercial ...

5. Multiscale modeling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiscale_modeling

   The aforementioned DOE multiscale modeling efforts were hierarchical in nature. The first concurrent multiscale model occurred when Michael Ortiz (Caltech) took the molecular dynamics code Dynamo, developed by Mike Baskes at Sandia National Labs, and with his students embedded it into a finite element code for the first time. [18]

6. Category:Scale modeling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Scale_modeling

   Articles related to scale models, physical models of an object that maintain accurate relationships between its important aspects, although absolute values of the original properties need not be preserved. This enables the model to demonstrate some behavior or property of the original object without examining the original object itself.

7. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

   Scale model at megameters of the main Solar System bodies. To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths starting at 10 8 meters (100 megameters or 100,000 kilometers or 62,150 miles). 102 Mm – diameter of HD 149026 b, an unusually dense Jovian planet; 115 Mm – width of Saturn's Rings
