  2. Fundamental diagram of traffic flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_diagram_of...

    Fundamental diagram of PeMS-D4 node 1. Speed – flow diagrams are used to determine the speed at which the optimum flow occurs. There are currently two shapes of the speed-flow curve. The speed-flow curve also consists of two branches, the free flow and congested branches.

  3. Helicopter height–velocity diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter_height...

    The FAA states "The height–velocity diagram or H/V curve is a graph charting the safe/unsafe flight profiles relevant to a specific helicopter. As operation outside the safe area of the chart can be fatal in the event of a power or transmission failure it is sometimes referred to as the dead man's curve ."

  4. Wind triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_triangle

    The wind triangle is a vector diagram, with three vectors. The air vector represents the motion of the aircraft through the airmass. It is described by true airspeed and true heading. The wind vector represents the motion of the airmass over the ground. It is described by wind speed and the inverse of wind direction.

  5. Compounding of steam turbines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compounding_of_steam_turbines

    Fig-4: Velocity Diagram of Pressure compounded Impulse Turbine. The velocity diagram shown in figure 4 gives detail about the various components of steam velocity and Blade velocity. where, symbols have the same meaning as given above. An important point to note from the above velocity diagram is that the fluid exit angle (δ) is 90⁰.

  6. Velocity triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_triangle

    An example of a velocity triangle drawn for the inlet of a turbomachine. The "1" subscript denotes the high pressure side (inlet in case of turbines and outlet in case of pumps/compressors). A general velocity triangle consists of the following vectors: [1] [2] V = absolute velocity of the fluid. U = blade linear velocity.

  7. Linear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motion

    The instantaneous velocity equation comes from finding the limit as t approaches 0 of the average velocity. The instantaneous velocity shows the position function with respect to time. From the instantaneous velocity the instantaneous speed can be derived by getting the magnitude of the instantaneous velocity.

  8. Flight envelope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_envelope

    A V-n diagram showing V S (stall speed at 1G), V C (corner/maneuver speed) and V D (dive speed) A chart of velocity versus load factor (or V-n diagram) is another way of showing limits of aircraft performance. It shows how much load factor can be safely achieved at different airspeeds. [3]

  9. Velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity

    Speed, the scalar magnitude of a velocity vector, denotes only how fast an object is moving, while velocity indicates both an object's speed and direction. [3] [4] [5] To have a constant velocity, an object must have a constant speed in a constant direction. Constant direction constrains the object to motion in a straight path thus, a constant ...
