  2. Atmospheric focusing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_focusing

    The shock wave is impacted by what the meteor is made of, temperature, and pressure. [1] Because the meteors need to have a large size and mass, there is only a small percentage of meteors that can create these shock waves. [2] Radar and Infrasonic methodologies are able to detect meteor shock waves. These tools are used to study these shock ...

  3. Shock wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_wave

    In fact, correct capturing and detection of shock waves are important since shock waves have the following influences: (1) causing loss of total pressure, which may be a concern related to scramjet engine performance, (2) providing lift for wave-rider configuration, as the oblique shock wave at lower surface of the vehicle can produce high ...

  4. Schlieren photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlieren_photography

    Shock waves produced by a T-38 Talon during flight using analog background-oriented schlieren. Background-oriented schlieren technique (BOS [7]) relies on measuring or visualizing shifts in focused images. In these techniques, the background and the schlieren object (the distortion to be visualized) are both in focus and the distortion is ...

  5. Schlieren - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlieren

    Toepler's original system [2] was designed to detect schlieren in glass used to make lenses. In the conventional schlieren system, [3] a point source is used to illuminate the test section containing the schliere. An image of this light is formed using a converging lens (also called a schlieren lens).

  6. Seismic communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_communication

    Seismic or vibrational communication is a process of conveying information through mechanical vibrations of the substrate. The substrate may be the earth, a plant stem or leaf, the surface of a body of water, a spider's web, a honeycomb, or any of the myriad types of soil substrates.

  7. Kelvin wake pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_wake_pattern

    Consider a boat moving from right to left with constant speed v, emitting waves of varying wavelength, and thus wavenumber k and phase velocity c(k), of interest when < v for a shock wave (cf., e.g., Sonic boom or Cherenkov radiation). Equivalently, and more intuitively, fix the position of the boat and have the water flow in the opposite ...

    The bed seems like a good idea. It's big, it's furry, and it's pretty darn cute. It looks like a dog's paw.But it's not great for small dogs, as the woman learned recently.

  9. Earthquake early warning system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_early_warning...

    [2] [38] Smartphones are used to detect the ground shaking induced by an earthquake and a warning is issued as soon as an earthquake is detected. People living at a further distance from the epicenter and the detection point may be alerted before they are reached by the damaging waves of the earthquake.
