  2. Heisler chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisler_Chart

    These first Heisler–Gröber charts were based upon the first term of the exact Fourier series solution for an infinite plane wall: (,) = = [⁡ + ⁡ ⁡], [1]where T i is the initial uniform temperature of the slab, T ∞ is the constant environmental temperature imposed at the boundary, x is the location in the plane wall, λ is the root of λ * tan λ = Bi, and α is thermal diffusivity.

  3. Isotropic coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotropic_coordinates

    The defining characteristic of an isotropic chart is that its radial coordinate (which is different from the radial coordinate of a Schwarzschild chart) is defined so that light cones appear round. This means that (except in the trivial case of a locally flat manifold), the angular isotropic coordinates do not faithfully represent distances ...

  4. Schwarzschild coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_coordinates

    In the theory of Lorentzian manifolds, spherically symmetric spacetimes admit a family of nested round spheres.In such a spacetime, a particularly important kind of coordinate chart is the Schwarzschild chart, a kind of polar spherical coordinate chart on a static and spherically symmetric spacetime, which is adapted to these nested round spheres.

  5. Spherical harmonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_harmonics

    An orthogonal basis of spherical harmonics in higher dimensions can be constructed inductively by the method of separation of variables, by solving the Sturm-Liouville problem for the spherical Laplacian = ⁡ ⁡ + ⁡ where φ is the axial coordinate in a spherical coordinate system on S n−1.

  6. Kitten - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitten

    The word "kitten" derives from the Middle English word kitoun, which in turn came from the Old French chitoun or cheton. [1] Juvenile big cats are called "cubs" rather than kittens; either term (but usually more commonly "kitten") may be used for the young of smaller wild felids, such as ocelots, caracals, and lynxes.

  7. Differential geometry of surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_geometry_of...

    The homeomorphisms appearing in the first definition are known as local parametrizations or local coordinate systems or local charts on S. [13] The equivalence of the first two definitions asserts that, around any point on a regular surface, there always exist local parametrizations of the form ( u , v ) ↦ ( h ( u , v ), u , v ) , ( u , v ...

  8. Table of spherical harmonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_spherical_harmonics

    Below the complex spherical harmonics are represented on 2D plots with the azimuthal angle, , on the horizontal axis and the polar angle, , on the vertical axis.The saturation of the color at any point represents the magnitude of the spherical harmonic and the hue represents the phase.

  9. Canine terminology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_terminology

    Canine terminology in this article refers only to dog terminology, specialized terms describing the characteristics of various external parts of the domestic dog, as well as terms for structure, movement, and temperament. This terminology is not typically used for any of the wild species or subspecies of wild wolves, foxes, coyotes, dholes ...
